A Sunday of Sports...................
The remote control got a work out today with Nascar at Martinsville and my NJ Devils in Pittsburgh for an afternoon game.
The Devils needed to beat the Pens in order to (a) solidify their playoff position and (b) prove they could beat a bad team. Lately the Devils have been beating good teams and losing to bad teams. So this was a good test for the team, one which they almost lost. After Sid the kid scored one and assisted on another it was 2-1 Pens as the game wound down. The Devils got a late power play and pulled the goalie and managed to score with about 20 seconds left in the game to tie it up. Then Brian Gionta scored in the overtime giving the Devils two points... Yahoooooo...
Then to make it a perfect afternoon Tony Stewart won today's race. A nice battle with Jimmie Johnson and then holding off Jeff Gordon on two late restarts scored Stewart his 25th career victory and his first of this season. WTG Big Orange!
