I've Been Abandoned

An Endangered Species 

My fellow AngryHockeyFans have dropped off the face of the earth.  The Sens won last night and so did the Canucks.  Where are the victory dances out of the Ottawa and Vancouver bureau?  The Habs lose, and I'm hear to answer for it.  Heck, we were two goals away from ice cream covered ladies gracing the cover of this blog.  Sadly, it still has not happened.

How did they blow two leads last night?  Especially 3-1 against the Islanders.  Tavares OT pass was probably the highlight of the night on TSN this morning, so whatever, Hickey deserved that goal.  But blowing those leads to the New York Islanders is tough to swallow.  It's safe to say that the travel fatigue of going to New York this week finally settled in.  Last nights game should have been played in Brooklyn, but that's an issue for the league offices to address.  Why is nobody else on the internet pissed about this?  Screw you NHL, you cost us a point!

A loss to the New York Islanders is just downright sad, but holding onto first place in the East wasn't all so awful.  We got a point.  At the beginning of this week I said if the Habs could manage six points out of 8 I would be satisfied.  That means an OT loss or win Saturday will continue to make me HappyHabsFan, at least for the near future.

To fill your hockey voids tonight I can suggest three things.  Drinking your memoires of last night away.  Watch the Oscar nominated film 'Argo' that just came out on Blu-Ray this week, or catch San Jose in Chicago.  Can they keep it rolling in the windy city?  Gametime is 8:30 PM.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

AHF NHL Playoff Bracket

With the March Madness NCAA Basketball tournament starting up tomorrow, people all over North America and abroad are filling out their brackets.  Even President Obama gets in on the action each year. Though my knowledge in sports lies pretty much in the world of hockey, I've been attempting brackets for the past six years.  This year my final four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina. When it comes to the NHL nobody gets excited and fills out an NHL playoff bracket.  I am here to change that today. Since my creative juices are lacking in humour during this dismal time in Montreal, I thought I'd throw together an NHL bracket of my own based on the NHL Playoffs matches that would be happening if the season ended last night. Please feel free to rip me apart in the comment section. 1st Round  East: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Winner: New York Rangers in 5 Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Winner: Boston Bruins in 5 Florida Panthers vs New J
