Playoff Thoughts

I haven't yet been all that engaged in the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I can't seem to find a team to cheer for. I have minor crushes on the Wild, Isles, and the Flames, but from how it looks none of those teams are going to survive the 1st round. My pick to win the Cup, the New Jersey Devils are in peril of also bowing out in the 1st round...Marty where art thou??



I am sure when the dust settles, when I can get a clearer feeling as to who the contenders are versus the pretenders, say after the completion of the 2nd round, I will catch playoff fever. I am just not all that interested yet.

All Over But The Crying....

I have not blogged much lately, there seemed to be a strange connection between my lack of posts and the way the Habs played. Well, superstition aside, the Habs came up short in the biggest game of the year, and will be on the outside looking in, in terms of the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs.



The 2006/2007 Habs team was a disappointment, at one point early in the season the Habs were solidly 4th in the Eastern Conference and looked to be sneaking up on the Buffalo Sabres for perhaps 1st in the North East. Cue the post-Xmas collapse, starting goalie Huet gets injured longterm, the Habs penalty killing goes in the tank...they are unable to score 5 on 5, constant distractions like that of the Samsonov soap opera, the benching and then trading of Craig Rivet, a no show season by Kovalev and a GM who sat on his hands at the trade deadline...there is more of course, as to why this team didn't make it to the show, but I am suffering from a big lose hangover, I have yet to find levity, I can not yet digest the 06-07 season objectively. Give me a few days, hell I may even point out some positives. SIGH!
