Hockey is back

[Young Grasshopper]

Here in Canada I was watching a 5 hour playoff preview and one analyst gave a compelling argument as to why he thought that the Kings were going to handle Vancouver in the first round. He didn’t have any support from his peers, but he convinced me and I based my whole western conference pool picks on his prediction. I remember just before the finals I was sitting 4th and everyone ahead of me had Richards, Kopitar, and Kovalchuk, so all I had was a defenceman and a goalie to out produce the top scorer in the playoffs. All I wanted was to finish 3rd in the money, but Doughty and Quick were awesome, and Kovalchuk sucked so bad I was able to secure 2nd (1st was unreachable before the finals even started). Needless to say I was pretty happy to buy my Habs jersey. and a dinner at the Keg with my wife.

Hey congrats to the Sharks for being 7-0!

So….Second round exit out of the playoffs this year for them?

Yes.

The Sharks playoff curse will be dispelled this year, they will beat the Blackhawks in the conference finals.

It is still way early to be making cup predictions. What if Marleau or Thornton goes down? Good nite. The Sharks are an older team. All these games back to back I believe will wear them down. We shall see.

yessir, depth and youth will be served this season, that’s for sure.

Need the lucky rabbits foot to avoid the injuries as well.

It should be a fun ride!

This is the nucks year to win it all.

We always do great half to 3/4 of the way through the season.

That’s Playoff time this year!

And people think Habs fans are touchy.

The Detroit Lions are less disappointing than the Vancouver Canucks.

Do yourself a favor and don’t get your hopes up.

No. I meant that I own the entire fanbase of the team. Hence the singular possessive. Having red wings would be cool though…

WOW… considering she’s been in the grave for almost 30 years, you must have had quite the… boner? LOL.

Awww man… why’d you have to go pull that one. Now I feel bad.

[Young Grasshopper]

Yep…. When someone pulls the dead mom card, it’s all over and everyone calls for a group hug. Back to the NHL… 4 teams are for real, 4 teams are doomed, and the rest are in a blood bath.
