Why networking business has been compared to a McDonald's franchise in many ways, on many occasions.

Ray Kroc, the franchise master of McDonald's was a genius in more ways than one. A networking business has been compared to a McDonald's franchise in many ways, on many occasions. Here is what you may not have realized about Ray, McDonald's, and YOUR business that you already OWN! Ray's primary mission was to sell McDonald's franchises to franchise buyers, which then sell the burgers to the customers. More franchises = more burgers sold. Pretty simple. Our job as networkers is no different.… Continue

Pittsburgh has to toughen up

Detroit got two goals early from Brad Stewart and Thomas Holmstrom, and then played their puck possession game. Then Filppula got the 3rd, due mainly to poor defensive positioning and that was pretty much the game. One thing about the wings is they never beat themselves with poor positioning or bad turnovers. Kris Draper and Henrik Zetterberg are rated one and two in playoff winning percentage on face-offs and are frustrating the… Continue

Detroit Patience pay’s off

Stanley Cup Final (Game 1) May 25 2008 The Detroit Red Wings drew first blood in the Stanley Cup final last night with a 4-0 win at Joe Lewis arena. The wings out waited the young penguins and then made their chances count in posting the win. Detroit used patience and veteran poise to frustrate the penguins. Pittsburgh for their part looked nervous for the most part and t… Continue

Pittsburgh and Detroit in the dream final

Detroit came out with purpose from the start and built a 3-0 lead after the first period on goals by Kris Draper (off his face, ouch), Pavel Datsyuk, and Dallas Drake. Henrik Zetterberg scored short handed, three minutes and eleven seconds into the second period to make it 4-0 and pretty well lights out for Dallas. Dallas looks totally flat and 0 for 6 on the power play against the “… Continue

The flyers turn to go golfing

Pittsburgh was up 2-0 after the first. To be honest I had to dash out from the cottage to a local watering hole to see the gold medal game between Russia and Canada. Just got the tail end, as my start time was screwed up. We did not tune into the Pens game until after. Philly won the last one so now the young Pen’s have to refocus and put the flyers away. They don’t want to go back to Philly and give the flyers any more confidence. The Stars won again yesterday and giving the Red Wings some trou… Continue

Canada is the bride’s maid at world hockey championships

You have to give the Russian’s full marks for their gold medal win. They trailed Canada 4-2 going into the third period. They came out and carried the play, eventually tying the game with about 6 minutes left to play. Both teams traded a couple of scoring chances but regulation time ended with the score knotted at 4 a piece. Overtime had a new format this year in the World Hockey Championship. The teams play a twe… Continue

Did Detroit Mail it in?

Dallas came out flying and buzzing the Red Wings net, with a strong start. Chris Osgood was holding the fort and was keeping Detroit in it. The wings looked lethargic; they were not moving their feet. The result was that Detroit was short handed twice within the first ten minutes of the game. They were lucky the stars had no finish and were blowing their chances once again. Dallas finished o-3 on the power play in the first period, but… Continue

Dallas has nothing left to compete with the razor sharp Red Wings.

Detroit opened the scoring with a Pavel Datsyuk goal, but Dallas tied it up on a goal by Nic Grossman after Dallas had controlled the puck for one minute and 14 seconds in the Detroit end. The Wings problems started when they iced the puck. The line had already been on the ice for a while so Detroit took a time out to try and rest the players stuck on the ice. Needless to… Continue

Philly "done like dinner"

Well the second game in this series between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia was anything but a classic. In fact it was not really a very good game. Sidney “Sid the Kid” Crosby put Pittsburgh ahead on the power play with 9:10 remaining in the 1st period, when his centering pass went of a flyer’s defenseman’s skate and caromed into the flyers net on the short side. The Penguins thought they had another with about 3 minutes left in the fir… Continue

Dallas in Deep Trouble

Dallas started the game strong and had three good chances early in the game but came up empty. Those missed opportunities would come back to bit them in the ass. Then Detroit’s fourth line got a chance 6 minutes in and put it in the net. The shot deflected of a Dallas defenseman’s stick and into the top corner over Turco’s glove hand. Dallas tied the game up on the power play with just less than 10 minutes left in the 1st period. The wings scored again but it was waved off by the ref right away… Continue

NHL Playoff Scoreboard

April 29 2008 After winning the first two games in Pittsburgh, the Penguins were in control of their series with the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist was not himself in the first two games of the series. He seemed to be battling the puck and ended up to deep in his net and not challenging and penquin shooters. Game three was the same as the previous two with Lundqvist still playing to deep in the net. New York out shot the Penquins in the game 39-17 but still ended up loosing by a score of 4-… Continue

Montreal needs to make Biron’s life more difficult.

Montreal out shot Philadelphia by more than 2-1 but for the most part in the game they seemed disinterested and not willing to pay the price by going to the “dirty” areas of the ice to make the play. They had lots of shots on Marty Biron but he could see most of them coming and made an easy save. At the other end Carey Price was having a difficult time seeing the put and looked a little rattled by the flyers charging his net. He let… Continue

Are coaches pulling their hair out over broken hockey sticks

Since the second round of the playoffs has just started, I thought I would take this opportunity to talk about one of my pet peeves in the game today. I thought that the best way to start this article would be with the question. How many scoring chances have you seen either caused or negated due to a hockey stick breaking. This must drive coach’s nuts especially in the playoffs, when the games are so close. One missed scoring chance could be the differe… Continue

Jay’s not keeping pace in the AL East.

Well it has been a while since I wrote about baseball. What with all the hockey on the tube every night I must admit I have not been keeping up on much baseball lately. So tonight I decided to put on the Jays and D’Rays game and watch some. The Jays were cruising along and leading 3-0 in the 5th inning and looked to be ok. Then of course I got called away to pick up and be the taxi (you other parents out there know all about it I am sure). So I get back and I missed it. The game was over and the… Continue

Philly next up for Montreal

It took overtime in game 7 of the series between Washington and Philadelphia to decide who would move on. The flyers ended up prevailing but Washington should a lot of pen ash in loosing the series. Cristobal Huet was outstanding in the Washington net and the young guns on Washington showed they will be a strong force in the near future. The problem the caps will have is keeping them all and staying under the cap. Phil… Continue

Bruins put up a good fight but have little left for game seven

The Canadians started game 7 a little tentatively and were being outplayed by Boston in the first period. Only some very solid goaltending from Carey Price had the Canadians enjoying a 1-0 lead after the first period. In the second the Canadians started to skate and use their speed to create more chances. They were successful at getting the puck deep on the Boston defense and then forcing turn over’s. Mark Streit scored Montreal’s s… Continue

Hab’s Playing Bruins Game

Montreal had a chance to finish off Boston at home but something happened when they played the game. The Canadians were all over the Bruins in the first period but Boston kept hanging in there. Then in the second period Montreal quit using their speed and Boston started to take the game over. The game was tied at one in the third period when Carey Price made his first rookie mistake, trying to keep the puck in play in front of his… Continue

Pen's to much for Sen's to handle

For a season that started out with such promise, it abruptly ended for Ottawa last night. The Senator’s started the 2007 season the way they finished off the previous season where they made it into the Stanley Cup final. Coming up to the Christmas break Ottawa was cruising along in first place in the Eastern Conference with no other team even close to them. Then something strange happened after we rung in the new year of 2008. Ottawa began to look ordinary and along with the circus act of Ray Em… Continue
