Stanley Cup Champions

In spite of game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals being the only playoff game this year that I didn't get to see any of (had to be driving between Michigan and Chicago during), I won't change a thing (unless some how I could have changed history and made the Wings win in overtime of game 5). I'll even take the most "crap-tastic" game winning goal (as Trudi correctly referred to it as). Probably the worst part of driving during the game was due to the NHL's inability to market themselves I couldn't even listen to the game on the radio (I lost a station before I even got out of Michigan...seriously?!). However I have to thank Trudi and Jen for giving Demoree and I updates during the game. With all that said I'm really glad the Wings won their 4th Stanley Cup in the past 11 years...Amazing! Its going to be a fun year with the Cup being in Michigan a bunch and perhaps I'll even get to see it...everyone in Michigan better be heading to Detroit tomorrow for the parade...party it up. Congrats Wings!!!

So I think I could go on and on about how great it is to win this Cup, but I'm sure everyone that cares already knows (or they could just read other websites). Thus I shall keep it short and sweet.

Home Videos with Young Brian Talking

First the mystery has to be solved from my last post...no, it wasn't an old man with a cool hat like many have thought. It was actually me when I was a youngster. So now I have to post the video because (1) only to be fair and (2) this video cracks me up more than any other family home video.


As an added bonus I'll finally post video of me talking before my speech had been corrected (I think at this point I could hear properly but still couldn't speak quite right). I actually remember when this was taped and the majority of the conversation I was talking about Odie and how I wanted a stuffed Odie to go with my Garfield.


This is another video from the same day. Renee was basically telling me I had broken something and with a very serious face I attempt to explain what really happened (I'm not sure what my point was but I'm sure in reality it wasn't my fault).

Stud

The question everyone is asking...who is this stud?...the answer is coming soon.

Home Video #1

Well the Wings remain one game away from winning the Stanley Cup. That was pretty much a big time bummer with the way they lost. So to cheer everyone up I'll post the first of what will probably be many family home videos.

Renee (the star), Teresa (the helper), and me (the crying baby).

One Game Away

Hopefully after tonight the Wings will have secured their 4th Stanley Cup in the past 11 years.

The game winning play for game 4 (ok, it should probably be the Hudler goal but this was in my opinion more important) and possibly the series defining moment.
