That'll do it

Midwest region pretty much toasted my bracket for this year. The Badger game was depressing to watch. They did their typical can't shoot in the first half thing again and their strong 2nd half comeback again, only this time they couldn't sustain it and UNLV hit a couple clutch 3's and made their free throws down the stretch to send Bucky back to Madison early.

On the bright side, the Badger women won the NCAA championship for the 2nd year in a row. They finished the season 36-1 and allowed less than 1 goal per game.

And in my hockey game we won again, our 9th in a row. We're sitting at 14-3-1-1 with one game left and 1 point behind the first place team still (unless they lost last night).

We were playing the last place team (2 wins) and found ourselves down 3-2 in the 3rd period. We got a goal to tie it and then with about 3 minutes left they took 2 straight penalties to give us a 5-3 power play. I took a feed at the left point and found our center alone on the back door and just like that we had the lead. Still on a 5-4 power play I stopped a clearing attempt and found the left winger along the boards and he fed the right winger for another goal. Back at even strength I ended up with the puck off the face off and hit the center at the blue line for a partial break away and just like that we're up 6-3 and that's how it ended.

Next week is our last regular season game (and team party) and then the playoffs start.

In other news, we traded in Cdubya's Pathfinder for an '05 Acura TL. Black on black with navigation system. It only had 26,000 miles on it and we got a sweet deal on it. She will be keeping this one.
