So it is official for now, Winnipeg is now the new home to a blossoming NHL team and Winnipeggers could not be any happier or prouder. May 31 is the new unofficial holiday for Canadian hockey fans. As Gary Bettman, Mark Chipman, David Thomson and countless media press like Sportsnet, CBC, fan 590 and even the famous Stephen Brunt gathered at the MTS center to give a press conference regarding the purchase of Georgia’s own Atlanta Thrashers.

The IIHF Men’s World Hockey Championship begins Apr. 29 in the Slovakian cities of Kosice and Bratislava. This year’s edition will be the 75^th ever held but it will be the first one ever held in Slovakia. The Canadians will be looking to improve on a worst-ever 7^th place finish last year in Germany, due to the fact that most players on the gold-medal Olympic winning hockey team declined to participate. Canada has not won a men’s world title since 2007. Last year, the Czechs upset the Russians for the gold medal.

I suppose I owe you one, you know, to finish it all off. Actually, I’m not convinced it’s you the reader that I owe, or the editor of this blog, or even myself for that matter. I know what happened and who happened but I feel a certain obligation to the story because really it does take a life of its own in my eyes and what’s the value of a life if there is no end?

Almost every light bulb in my apartment has burnt out. It didn’t all happen at once, it was more of a progression; first the light over the stove, then the lamp in my room, followed by the other lamp in my room, and now the main lamp in the living room. I think it’s one of those situations where I should report the occurrence to the hotel management but the phone is so far away right now.
