I agree.....many lives were destroyed.

Even though I'm mostly libertarian, I have no problem with the govt coming down hard on people like this guy.

Different note....the NHL conference finals were about as bizarre as it gets. In the Ranger/Tampa series, the road team won 5 times. I wonder if that's ever happened in a conference semi-final. Tampa looked terrible at home but brilliant on the road.

In the Anaheim series, Anaheim is a perfect example of, "live by the sword, die by the sword". They have one style of play. Truthfully, when Anaheim went up 3-2, the way they salvaged game 5 (surrendered leads of 3-0 and 4-2 and had to win in OT) made me figure Chicago would win the next two. Anaheim has some outstanding talent but Chicago is clearly a better coached/prepared team.

Hard to pick a winner in the finals but I will go with Tampa.
