NHL REALIGNMENT

TSN talks about the proposed NHL realignment.


Two conferences (14 teams in west and 16 teams in east)
Four divisions (7 teams in each western and 8 in each eastern)
Top 3 from each division makes playoffs + 2 wild card spots for each conference


It is hard to figure out the perfect balance, so this is probably as good as any.  Maybe adding the possibility of an eastern conference team crossing over to the west if they had more points and had won the season series would help balance a little more.

Ranger Lake Bible Camp

Registration is already open for summer camp at Ranger Lake Bible Camp.  It is a nice thought on these cold days of January.

Joining a new blog

I am joining a conversation at Make Time for Theology if you want to check it out.

Winnipeg Jets first game

I watched most of the Winnipeg Jets first game of the season.  Nik Antropov scored the first goal for them in the 3rd period and gave a glimmer of hope that was shut down shortly after by Montreal.  The Canadiens had control of the game, behind the great goaltending of Carey Price.  Hopefully the Jets goaltending comes around and saves a few games for them.  It may be a long season, but I am looking forward to watching the team progress over the next few years.  GO JETS!

Thanksgiving Sunday

Today I am thankful for :
my family!, my friends! and my church! 
God has truly blessed me. 
I am most thankful that God loves and cares for each of us.

Roughriders make coaching changes

Ken Miller is going to take over as head coach and maybe even offensive coordinator after the team has fired Greg Marshall and Doug Berry.  This team will look a lot different for the Labour Day game.  Maybe some more changes on the way before then?  Can Ken Miller restore the team chemistry and winning attitude that they have had the last few years?  It would sure be great to see them come out with their first home win against Winnipeg.

Roughriders trade DE Mullinder

Some changes have been needed and the offense does need some help.  I don't think Dallas Baker will be the entire answer, but is a step in the right direction.  After trading Tad Kornegay the Roughriders responded with a win over Montreal, hopefully this trade will motivate the team to get their first home win this year against Calgary.
