The culmination of another superb campaign, last night’s Game 6 victory (watch highlights) in Pittsburgh further solidifies the place of the Detroit Red Wings in hockey’s pantheon. Four Stanley Cup championships in 11 years is a remarkable accomplishment. The Wings’ playoff run was bittersweet for me, as my father — a big hockey fan, who started taking me to games at Olympia Stadium when I was very young — passed away last month. Even so, I know Dad was there in spirit, and I’m glad Nick Lidstrom was able to hoist Lord Stanley’s vaunted trophy, the first European captain in NHL history to do so. It was a nice touch when he presented veteran Dallas Drake with the peerless trophy next. Congratulations, fellas, and here’s to a repeat next season.

Great chat betweeen these two last night. I had the pleasure of interviewing Anderson in 2006, and found the man utterly brilliant.

It’s possible that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama will have enough votes to automatically earn their party’s nomination. A brokered convention? Can you say ratings?! CNN says that, in fact, the voting split yesterday may help Obama, and that the next 2-3 weeks of primaries and caucuses may favor the Illinois senator.

As I said yesterday before the game, had a strong feeling the Giants would upset New England. (I was wrong aboout the 28-27 guess, but didn’t everyone think there would be more points scored?) For those of us who’ve seen them all, was this the best Super Bowl yet? Top 3, at worst. Glad to see Charlie Brown finally come out on top, in a Coke ad clearly the best of this year’s high-priced commercials.

…and, since he’s out of the presidential race, have shifted my allegiance to Barack Obama. Bill Maher has been eloquent in this regard, talking about how America needs a new face, literally and figuratively, and the message it will send the rest of the world. On the most recent Real Time, Maher said something else interesting — and spot on – which I paraphrase: ‘Politics is cool again.’ It’s about time.

I have a feeling one is in store this evening. New York 28, New England 27.
