Darth, since I have shown admirable restraint to keep from being one of those "idiots" or "fools" who delight in ramming the stats down your throat, I will once again take the same road.

But I will smile quite broadly after the next two games between my two favorite teams.

I will get to be in the house for the one in Detroit but will have to settle for watching on the tube for the second one.

I hope I enjoy the games more than you do .
