Because It's the Cup

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings, and Darryl Sutter in particular on winning the Stanley Cup. Due to the Sutter connection and the fact that they faced (and subsequently eliminated) the Canucks in the first round, I had been pulling for them since the playoffs began.

As a Flames fan the win is bittersweet, though on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Sutter took us to the Cup Finals in 2004, losing in 7 games. Although during his stint as coach/GM in Calgary he managed to resurrect the franchise, partially through the acquisition of Miikka Kiprusoff, he was responsible for several huge blunders in his later years which will haunt the team for years to come (see: Phaneuf deal, Stajan contract, Jokinen situation with NYR, etc).



He was definitely a better coach than GM, but regardless its awesome to see him hoist the cup.

I preordered two PSP games today - the system just won't die. The first of which was Gungnir, a tactical RPG in a series of handheld games which I've yet to try. I also put down coin for the Growlanser remake that is due out in July.



I've been meaning to post some thoughts on the state of the Full Ring games on Pokerstars, as well as ZOOM and how it has changed things. I know that kind of stuff will be a lot more interesting to the majority of this blog's readership, so stay tuned.
