In the news.

I didn't even realize this was going on until today.

Police and fire crews attacked as Paris rioting spreads

The French government faced mounting pressure today as suburban unrest took on dangerous new momentum, with shots fired at police and fire crews as they battled youths who torched car dealerships and public buses and hurled rocks at commuter trains.

This isn't making too much news here in the U.S.

Another article on the riots.




In less serious news. The NHL.

I've been a hockey fan my whole life. I have been playing hockey since the first grade. I know my hockey.

At first I was somewhat excited about the new rules, the shoot-out, no red-line. I realized they were going to more strict with the fighting and penalties, but I didn't think much it. But now, a month or so into the new season and I am tired of the game long powerplays and all the goals. Last night, a team won 10-4. What is that? That isn't NHL hockey. I'd rather see a well balance game of defense, offense and goaltending. Not Jo-Jo's Happy-time-circus-scoring-machine-lunch-hour. No. Say no, to Jo.

New NHL: Too many goals coming way too easy
