Be Aggressive – Be-Be – Aggressive

*Happy Dance*

Detroit Red Wings won Game 7 against the Phoenix Coyotes last night. <333 I love this shot taken during the (American) National Anthem. And can we say, "Damn! Todd Bertuzzi can sure grow a beard!"


(L-R) T. Bertuzzi #44, V. Filppula #51, H. Zetterberg #40, B. Stuart #23 and N. Kronwall #55

I Know the Words, But I Cannot Really Speak Them

What an afternoon, the Detroit Red Wings played the Phoenix Coyotes today … unfortunately, Detroit lost. I hear you saying, “Rachel, you’re a Canadian girl from Winnipeg. What business do you have cheering for Detroit?” And I answer you, “I do not know – but it may have something to do with one of it’s players: Todd Bertuzzi.”

I know Todd has a bit of a reputation in the NHL that unfortunately will likely never be put to rest, but I do not care. I’ve been a fan of Big Bert since before “the incident” and supported him throughout the speculation and criticism. I’m happy to see Todd being a productive player among his Detroit teammates.

If all else fails, I can tell people I cheer on the Winnipeg connection: Darren Helm and Derek Meech. Both boys were born and raised in my hometown of Winnipeg!
