What happened on Wednesday, January 7, 2015?

  1. Madrid defeats Madrid: When two teams from Madrid play each other in soccer, that’s bound to happen. In this case, Atletico Madrid, the less romantic and star-studded team beat Real Madrid 2-0. This was the first leg in a home and home series in the Spanish Copa del Rey tournament.
    Line: The battle of Madrid is a good way to identify the character of your friends. If they root for Atletico, they’re basically good people. If they root for Real Madrid, don’t leave them alone with your chocolate chip cookies…
  2. Boston edges Pittsburgh in OT: The hockey game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins lived up to expectations. It was a very well played, super exciting game that went into overtime tied at 2-2. In overtime, Boston’s Patrice Bergeron deflected a shot nicely into the top corner of the Penguins net. After several minutes of review to see if he had deflected it with an illegally high stick (height, not sobriety) the determination was made that, because there wasn’t enough evidence to definitively say it wasn’t a goal, that the referees initial call of a goal would stand.
    Line: Impressive game between two teams that have had a rough time so far this year.
  3. Hot Pistons in Detroit: No one knows what is going on in Detroit, where the once woeful Pistons have absolutely caught on fire in the last two weeks. Last night’s 108-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, one of the best teams in the league, was their seventh straight win.
    Line: What the hell is going on with the Pistons?
