Let's Go Red Wings!

The Detroit Red Wings face the Pittsburgh Penguins in game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs tomorrow. The Free Press believes the Wings will win in six. Yahoo Sports says the Wings will get the job done in five games because Detroit has the experience, special teams and goaltending.

I call it for the Wings too, but I have to admit I'm a wee bit worried for several reasons, although not about the Wings abilities. I'm worried because my husband is a native of Pittsburgh and he's cheering for the Penguins. There will be no harmony at my house for the next week or so! (Hubby already pulled his Penguins jersey out of the closet.)

I'm also worried because my husband is a jinx. If he simply walks into the room when the Wings are on TV, the opposing team invariably wins. Honest. Last Saturday, Dallas and Detroit were tied 1-1 when my husband walked past the television on his way outside and BANG! The Stars scored, and we ended up losing that game.

My husband is aware that he is a jinx and normally doesn't mind listening to the game from another room, but therein lies the problem. Because we're playing the Penguins, he plans on sitting directly in front of the television for every single game wearing his jersey! Arghh...

So, if any Wings are reading this, do you guys think you could get it done in four games for the sake of harmony in my home? And because I also want to see my husband's Penguins jersey stuffed to the back of the closet again, where it belongs!

Red Wings


Good Luck Wings!
