Bruins take game 1 in the Playoffs

Bit of a heartbreaker for my Leafs. Kid's came to play though.

Sens take game 2.

I turned the game on with ~ 18 minutes left in the third period. Bruins were ahead 3 - 1. Senators look lifeless and out of sorts. Suddenly, the Bruins looked horrible and the senators didn't. The Bruins looked so out of sorts and position that I thought I missed a penalty call and they were playing with five on the ice instead of six. Within 4 minutes the score was tied. I had to turn the game off too. (I guess THAT didn't help) This is why I don't watch Bruins hockey. Nor watch the Red Sox - though I do listen in while driving.

GO LEAFS ! 4 -3 in OT

Washington needs to start making the physical game count against the Leafs. They are flirting with disaster. What's up with Chicago ? Who saw that coming ?

Chicago shutout in first 2 games. Unbelievable. Leafs giving the Caps a real go. Like they always say, regular season means nothing.

The Hab's are doing better than I would like. They were 17 seconds away from being down 2 games to none. Forced OT in Game 2 and win, and they win game 3 in New York. Lead the series 2-1.

I have said it before, but I love the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The most exciting hockey of the year. Usually better than the finals. Oilers looked solid last night. Ranges were sleep walking out there. Those damn Penguins are looking unbeatable, again. Ugh !

Go Leafs Go ! Got to be tough being a Caps fan.

Go Sens too.

Now Calgary get a win tonight.

I think I am part Canadian. Love Hockey, Rush and Tragically Hip are my favorite bands, prefer cold weather over hot, etc..

Looks like the Leafs will NOT be swept by the Caps, as many predicted.

Do you like your beer with a bit of kick ( and taste ) to it ?

Do you like doughnuts ?

Do you like maple syrup ?

This may mean you have Canadian blood

The sure test is this .............do you believe this statement ? "Only sissies need 4 tries to move a football 10 yards"

I believe Miller and Bud Light should only be used to put small fires out. But I am not a beer snob by any means.

I love doughnuts, but hate Tim Horton's donuts and coffee.

Love maple syrup.

When it comes to football, I hate field goals.

So the tests are inconclusive. Need more data.

Do you say 'eh' a lot?

Tim Hortons is basically the Dunkin Donuts of Canada right:? If so, I would like eating there.

True. But who on Earth would have predicted the Hawks might be?

I don't think I can ever recall a first round where 1/2 of those series would be 3-0 and looking to sweep... Insane.

That said, I need my Habs to step forward and slay the King again tonight. A commanding lead going back to the Bell Centre would be excellent.


Cheers,

PS> I *am* Canadian, but I don't think Archie's test is representative. For starters, it doesn't include Canadian Blended Whisky as a viable option to beer (mandatory point deduction for that transgression), there was no mention at all about backbacon, or any appropriate acknowledgement that "dropping the gloves" is a perfectly viable alternative for resolving issues (and usually recommended over all those guns that our neighbouring Americans seem to favour). Doughnuts and Maple Syrup are good though...

How about if you think Don Cherry's face should be on some of your money ?

He should be on our flag.

No Habs No
