My Kansas City Chiefs signed QB Alex Tanneylast week. Being a lifelong Chiefs fan (and yes, it’s painful), this news didn’t exactly thrill me, until I realized why I knew that name.
This blog doesn’t do sports…usually. But, since the Stanley Cup Finals are going on right now (Game 3 is tonight), this could arguably fall under the “News – General” heading.
Plus, I love hockey.
My Bruins aren’t in it this year (*sniffle*), but the LA Kings are trying for their first cup ever and find themselves up 2-0 over the Devils, going into tonight’s game. The Kings’ surprising success is largely due to the incredible performance of their goalie, Jonathan Quick. Quick is having a career year, and some of his saves have been head-shakingly good.
Even if you’re not a hockey fan, this video gives you some of his best ones from this year in just under 4 short minutes. Just think how impressed your co-workers will be when you tell them that of courseyou knew that in the playoffs so far, Quick has a 1.44 GAA (goals against average) and a 9.47 Save Percentage.
And suddenly, you’ll be living in a little town called “Instant Sports Guru”, …population: YOU.
