Hockey is coming down to the last day of the season. An unbelievable series between the Rangers and the Flyers for the last playoff spot that came down to the final round of a shootout. While I do believe the shootout has no part in the current NHL, there really is no more dramatic way of ending a game. It really cannot be scripted better. I mean come on. 82 games in the year and the difference between meaningful hockey and golfing next week is the 3rd and final round of a shootout in the 82nd game between bitter division rivals? Unbelievable drama.
And speaking of golf...
What a win for my man Phil. For those of you who don't no much about golf other than Tiger and his problems, (Which, all due respect to the fans, you have no right to know anything about his life off the course) Phil Mickelson is the good guy of golf. A wonderful family man, always happy to take a picture, and one of the most brilliant golfers ever to play the game, if not one of the most maddening. (Put the driver away Phil. Use an iron for all I care just put the driver away...) Phil also is dealing with his own family issues, but of a different kind. Both his mother and wife Amy are dealing with serious illness, and it was obvious the toll it took on Phil and his game.
So good of him, with Amy and his father and his three children there, to walk up to the 18th hole and birdie and win The Masters for the 3rd time.
Attaboy Lefty. Still praying for you.
