How Did That HAB-pen?

Whoa. David beats Goliath. 8th beats 1st. And so on. With some unbelievable goaltending, the Montreal Canadiens came back to win 3 straight and win the series. If you put money down on this, you were an idiot and got lucky. But congrats, and now the Habs take on Sid and the Penguins. And they won't stand a chance...or will they? The 2nd round should be really exciting to watch all around. .... On a junior note, the WHL's bantam draft is this morning and Prince Albert took Defenceman Josh Morrissey with the 6th overall pick. Morrissey had 49 points and 108 penalty minutes in 32 games last season.

Whats for Desert?

Garbage. Nice game 'Yotes. Thats all I'm going to say on that series. ... Let's just hope that tonights game 7 between the Habs and Caps is more entertaining.

Game Sevens Are Cool

I like that the 1st round of the NHL playoffs took their time and went back and forth. And I like that we ended up with 2 game sevens to watch. Perfect. There's nothing better than a game where winner takes all. My predictions are Phx and Mtl win. You may think I'm crazy. But that's my prerogative. Ha. ... Also I'm really looking forward to the Canucks/Hawks series. Should be a gooder! I seem to be friends with more and more 'Nucks fans lately. Who I like to rib a bit. But at the end of the day. Go Oil... Or soon enough, GO RIDERS!

Shallow Hal

Why is TSN talking about the Hab's Hal Gill? You want my opinion? Well it's not the same as theirs. Anyways, good luck to Canadiens tonight. Because of Ovie's douchebag move the other night when he sprayed snow in the little kids face. Really classy. So now I'm rooting for the Habs. For now, haha. ...Sorry 'Nucks fans, but I'm not on board yet. Same Division as my Oilers. It makes it tough. I was tired enough of listening about the twins and 'Lou' during the regular season. Now I'm stuck for at least another round. Brutal. Yep, that was an awesome save Luongo made on Smyth. I made the same save at a beer tournament on the weekend. If not better. Where's my contract? Ha! ... Hmm, what else. The Coyotes are still in it. So is my $150 thanks.

Touching Base

I'm headed out for the weekend and will be back on here Monday. So just wanted to re-cap a few things this morning. Whats up with the record low attendance at Blue Jays games? It's not like there's anything going on in Toronto right now. No Leafs, No Raps, No Argos...No Bills. The team doesn't look half bad. Well it's better than I had imagined anyway. Don't say its the economy because you can see a Jays game for like $15. Step it up Toronto before the Jays end up like the Expos! ... How bout those Devils?... So I for one was happy to see the Senators extend their series with Pittsburgh. Was nice to see they didn't throw in the towel. ... And did the regular season Sharks show up in the playoffs finally? Time will tell.

Harr-y Situation

The Riders announce they have released NCAA allstar QB Graham Harrell. Sounds like he wanted out. So I say see ya later. We have plenty of young talent. But I would have liked to see what he could have done on the field. Oh well.

Str88 Ballin'

I started a Facebook group a couple weeks ago called, Sign Matt Dominguez to a Try Out, Riders. With the intent that maybe someone of importance would see. I guess it's fun to have a group to see how many join. But come on, Facebook groups don't have any more impact on life and decisions than a leaf on a tree. But anyways, I just wanted to throw it out there. 88 hasn't played since 2008. After having another knee surgery. I think one year off to rehab and relax, might do the trick. Coach Miller held private work outs for him last year, just in case. He lives in Regina year round with his family. The guy bleeds Green. I say give him a try out, what can we lose? Besides, a receivers hands are the last thing to go....
