Last night we went to Game 5 of the Blackhawks opening round playoff against the Calgary Flames. This was the first game of the series in which the Blackhawks looked dominant going up 3-0 early in the first period. Chicago now leads the series 3-2 with game six back in Calgary (odds are there will be a game 7 in Chicago later in the week).

This is Abduhl Wali-i-Musi, modern day pirate and sole survivor of the failed hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. Wali-i-Musi was captured before his fellow pirates were killed by Navy Seals last week. Musi arrived in New York City last night and will be arraigned on Piracy charges next week in what is probably the first piracy trial in over 125 years.
As you can tell by the guy escorting Wali-i-Musi, we as a nation mean business when it comes to Piracy.
Last night we went to the first Blackhawk Playoff game in nearly a decade. The Hawks came out slow and were lucky to get away with the win in OT. The United Center was packed as usual but there was much more concourse traffic than usual.
Considering all of the OT games we’ve seen this year (not to mention shootouts) this one was short and sweet.

I’m looking forward to my new camera next week and future playoff games. My Photographs should be much improved.
