So i went to my second game of the season, and this one was better then the first one. First and foremost we won, so that was better then my first game of the season (loss to Chicago Blackhawks) and secondly it was a big win for the team, and brings them even closer to home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The game itself was not a barn burner by any means, there were long periods of time where the game was a bit boring and with not much action. Take away the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of the game and this game overall wasnt as exciting as some of the games of late. The quick two goal lead within the firts 6 minutes of the first period was a great way to get everyone in the game, and the crowd was very into the game, but as the game wore on and didnt keep the same pace, it was evident that the crowd also got out of the game for a bit. Personally, from where I was sitting, the crowd was very quiet and did not really get loud unless a goal was scored.

It's now been more than five months since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September of last year and what may be considered the first sounding bells to signal the start of this global economic downturn. Since then there's been a flurry of unending news, commentaries, and opinions from all forms of media, both conventional and new-age, all clamoring on about this economic crisis. For five long months and everywhere we turn, there's been no shortage of phrases like "it's going to get worse before it gets better," "worst since the Great Depression," and "worst on record", all envisioning a dark age of the global economy where nobody is safe and everyone is preparing for the worst.

Enough is enough! It's time to shut off the doom and gloom, and start putting a positive spin on things.

Statistics... Oh how I hate thee.I had a statistics exam today. It went well. I think.

I can't really say I studied very hard for it. Maybe an hour or two? Or three? For my other exams I studied pretty hard. 3-4 days. That's not bad, really.
