Tracker...Jose translates to Joseph in English, of course, though, and that IS what I meant...A personal habit of I have of butchering or completely Anglicizing town names that are not English names, as a joke. These names are often mispronounced officially in the Midwest, for example the town of Des Plaines, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, is pronounced DESS planes, or the towns of Madrid and Nevada, Iowa are MADD-rid and nev-VAY-duh to locals.
In the games...I'd rather the 'Hawks' face Howard than Niemi, at this point. And let the Sharks and the Kings beat the heck out of each-other. I don't expect the Blows (because they do!) to advance.
And it is hard for me to keep omitting Detroit's official 'Hawk fan suffix when I mention them. That being Detroit (SUCKS)...a chant you can hear at the United Center, even when the 'Hawks AREN'T playing the Wings.
