Scooter Chronicles

The Wings blew a two goal lead late in the third period, but thankfully Robert Lang scored in OT for the victory. Also, thankfully it averted the possibility of shoot-out.

(Have I mentioned I HATE shoot-out?)

Shoot-out Saver Robert Lang.

Manny Legace was back in net after a sprained knee had him out for a while. He was Defensive Player of the Month in October and set the record for wins in the opening month of the season. He looked great tonight, despite giving up four goals.

A rather disturbing article appeared on the internet this morning. It was not disturbing because it was about the Philadelphia Eagles and their problem child Terrell Owens. It was the fact that the STUPID writer blamed the Eagles for the recent quarrel.

Nigel the Fashion Plate
So Marcia and I have discovered that Nigel should be pretty well set for clothes in his first 6 months. The last few days, along with getting other things together, we have been washing his new clothes. He may need a few more onesies, but other then that, he has over a dozen outfits for both 0-3 months and 3-6 months, along with some stuff that goes as high as 12 months.
