Getting Political

On page 2 of The Weekly Standard’s profile of Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is this fun mention:

Growing up, Pawlenty played hockey. He is still a rabid NHL fan. The first website he visits each morning is hockeyfights.com, which shows combat highlights from the previous night’s games.

Very cool.  I don’t get political here, but I’ll have to decide what to start lobbying for…

Playoffs continue

As I type this the Rangers are taking on the Sabres in overtime on NBC.

I can’t wait for the Ducks and Canucks on Versus tonight.  I know it’s only been two games, but I wasn’t expecting this series to be tied after game one ended.

Both networks have done a great job so far during the playoffs.  When I get them, the HD picture and camera angles have been great.  Definitely an improvement over last season.
