Hi everyone! Not sure what happened last week where some said they got two different blogs for the Weekly Wrap-Up, but I didn't. Are you all sure you weren't out late at a pub/bar the night before you got home . Perhaps with Brad and Steve?   

Now I know that sports sometimes flies in GA like a lead balloon, but humour me  Over that past week or so, instead of a NHL All-Star Game and break, they got the 4 most represented countries (less Russia) in the NHL, and had a tournament called the 4 Nations Cup. It was a fun week and people in Norway, Sweden, USA and Canada that were hockey fans, and some not, got to cheer on their countries .

Like so much of late, it turned out to be the USA with 1 more point playing Canada for the Championship game in Boston. Both countries top players all played like their life depended on it. Usually all star games involve no hitting or really any contact, this tournament was full on defending national pride. The first US and Canada game had 3 fights in the first 9 seconds  . They were some of the biggest names in the game. I know some don't like fighting in hockey, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just an example to see how ramped up both teams there was amazing. 

At the end of regulation time, the game was tied at 2. So it went to sudden death overtime. In the first overtime period, the US dominated Canada and spent most their time in the Canadian zone and only our goalie stopped the US from getting the final point. Then, on one breakout down the ice by the Canadians, and this really, really, really really pains me to say, but the best player in the world scored Canada's tournament winning goal. 

So I'm curious, how many of you watch hockey ? Did you watch any of this tournament? 

I'll just finish off saying there may or may not have been some political undertones to the tournament, but we won't talk about them here  Instead if you want to, there is the Pit and your personal blogs to do that in. 

Enough about hockey Onto the Wrap Up.

Monday, I got to change my signature on my posts  It was Cia introducing the Signature Feature of the Month:

Tuesday, it would be safe to say that Myr went out of this world on some of his Deep Dive stories featured:

Wednesday, Cia came back with the Signature Feature Excerpt:

Thursday, there was no Valkyrie  Instead we were pleased to see that Aaron was by to look for some victims volunteers:

On Friday, I can 100% confirm, Aditus was by with a couple of new Prompts :

Wow, what a busy week!! I didn't include the Weekly Update from last Sunday, but we had 6 blogs in 7 days !

 

Just when you might think that is enough, no, Myr was by daily with the Words of the Day. How did you do this week and knowing them?

evocative, antagonistic, convivial, cajole, audacious, meanderning  ambiance
