Day 21: Another Stretch: The Rangers Win!

The Stretch was great today. I really love the "Rollers." I could do those all day. That and the Cat Stretch and the Child's Pose. Money!

If anyone happened to miss this friendly exchange between two hockey players doing the "X", check it out here and the follow up here! In a nutshell, one of my readers, "habs" (Chris) is an Original Six fan of the Montral Canadiens (or the "Habs", short for Les Habitants for those outside hockey circles!) was sorry to hear that I was a Ranger fan and suggested a "bet" of an extra Ab-Ripper. My Rangers weren't exactly dominating at this point and the Canadiens are one of the hottest teams int he league, chasing down first place in the East. But this is a matter of team pride, and I gulped down my reservations and accepted the challenge. The game was today, so besides Super Bowl Sunday, I had a hockey game to be excited for. Or to dread the results of (A national broadcast as well, where my beloved Blueshirts have made embarrassments of themselves lately.

True to form, the rangers fell behind 0-3 on the strength of Montral's brilliant Power Play. I started looking for the DVD's, figuring if it continued this way I should just end my misery and pop in the Ab Ripper X now. Shockingly, the Rangers (sensing my distress) stormed back and scored 5 unanswered goals to secure the victory. Chris, a true sportsman, had already signed on and told me he was doing the extra session. I wish I could say that out of solidarity I joined him, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything beyond the X Stretch. I'll do my week in review next post, but thanks again to Chris (habs) for the comments on my blog!
