Red wings? Now, shark food.
Again, I’m late to the party. Again, I’ve been insanely busy. And again, Detroit doesn’t do a whole lot in the playoffs. Gone in the second round, at the hands of San Jose. Who, er, might get a shot at playing Chicago unless Vancouver picks up their socks. The fun … Read the rest

Why I’d vote for this James Moore guy if I could.
james Moore, a junior minister in Canada’s federal cabinet, has a real talent for stirring up the politically paranoid. Granted these days it doesn’t take much, but the bar’s officially been set about 5 miles lower as of this week. When asked escentially which team he’d be rooting for in … Read the rest

These playoffs are going in entirely the wrong direction.
Last Wednesday, Montreal somehow managed to survive long enough to give Washington the boot. That netted them a matchup against the Penguins this week–and they’re even in the series at a game a piece. Montreal. In the second round. And not staring at elimination yet. Um. What? Okay, I get … Read the rest

Coyotes get clipped. Big time.
Speaking of teams you don’t expect to see in the playoffs, enter Phoenix. Beginning of the year, they were pretty much losing money, and the only reason they weren’t sold to a Canadian owner and set up to move is the NHL’s apparent anti-Canada bias. End of the year, they’re … Read the rest

Blackhawks in, Predators gone.
File this under massive underestimations. I didn’t even think Nashville would manage to make it into the playoffs this year. They didn’t make it past the first round, mind you, but they beat my expectations. Now, if they can just knock San Jose around a little, we’ll be a step … Read the rest

Oh, buffalo. You had such promise. Well, okay, maybe not.
In my one-person household, we have a problem. It’s baseball season, and Toronto’s actually doing… well… decently. It’s alsp playoff season, and Montreal still needs to be shown the door–something I’d like to be able to watch. Unfortunately, while my multitasking ability is awesome, my TV’s isn’t. So I missed … Read the rest

Hey look, it’s Vancouver. And on the golf course? Why, Los Angeles.
The Kings won’t be doing much else hockey related ’til next year. Vancouver took care of that on Sunday, giving me something besides Montreal to cheer for. I never thought I’d say it–thank you so very much, Vancouver. You’ve made my year.

The next best thing to a Canadians defeat? A Senators defeat.
I don’t get to stand in front of my TV screaming in victory yet–Montreal’s still in the playoffs. But, thank bloody God, Ottawa’s done. Their quest to choke in the Stanley cup finals died on Saturday. Yes, and I’m just now getting around to posting about it–I’ve been busy, okay?… Read the rest

Figures. I step away from the hockey world for a week, and miss an upset. Devils are gone.
I’ve been concentrating on other things besides hockey for the last several days, a trend that I think is gonna continue today–I have some employment resource thing to get to in a couple minutes. So it figures I miss seeing the Devils get their season handed to them along with … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 4, Canadians 3–yes, I know, better late than never.
After sitting down to watch the Montreal toronto game last Saturday, I was rendered completely speechless for pretty much the entire week. Hence, no posts up here. You know it’s bad when we can’t even win properly to help ourselves. But we had a wicked as hell chance to screw … Read the rest
