On Blues and Bulls

[scprest@umslvma.umsl.edu (Tom Preston)]

The Chicago Bulls had the best record in the history of pro basketball.  As
expected, they dominated the Knicks, as they will the Magic.  The finals
will be interesting, for reasons noted below.  .

The Detroit Redwings had the best record in the history of pro hockey.  As
was not expected, they struggled against the aged and scoreless St. Louis
Blues with a 1-0 double overtime fluke on their home ice. Imagine--two
hockey teams scoring NOTHING over 76 minutes of play!  Ugh! If you had even
rarely watched the Blues, you would have HAD the Blues all season
long--they just don't score!  With this meagre 4-3 accomplishment, I
wouldn't be preparing the octopi that readily if I were from DEEtroit.

(I like to follow my college teams more, so I can't help but point out the
continuing Carolina influence over the NBA playoffs--the last five years
it's been the Michael Jordan and Kenny Smith show--will be interesting to
see if the UNC alumni score the majority of the points in the Sonics-Bulls
series as they did on occasion in the Bulls-Lakers series a few years back.
Perhaps the Sonics excellent coach will make the difference. Interesting).

So in memory of Chris Webber (aka "Mr. Time Out,"), I call a recess to this
sports discussion and return the issue to debate.

Relevant to this list, I'm glad we're coming to a conclusion that it's
"solvency," not "solvancy."

To use it in a sentence:  "The St. Louis Blues did not achieve <<solvency>>
for their scorelessness by signing "the elder one" from the Los Angeles
Kings at mid-season."

Now, back to debate . . .
