I'm Joining The Movement To Boycott The NHL

By -

I'm joining the social media movement to make a point of not watching NHL games during the Winter Olympics.   The NHL players have no reason not to be their representing their country, and that's all I'm saying on the topic.

 I'm fully behind the boys we are sending, and will ONLY watch their hockey games until the end of the month.

 Canada's women's team kicks things off Sunday morning at 7 AM (et) to play Russia in their first Round Robin game. 

 Canada plays the USA in women's hockey on Valentines Day at 10:10 AM. 

 The men kick things off a week from today at 7:10 AM against Switzerland.  Then again Friday at 10:10 AM against the Czec Republic. 

 The women's quarter finals begin next Friday/Saturday. 

 Canada plays South Korea (OMG) at 7:10 AM Sunday Feb 18th. 

 The Women's Semi Finals will be on Family Day with the Mens quarters beginning Tuesday/Wednesday that week.  

 The women's gold game will be Thursday Feb 22 at 7:10 AM while the mens semi's will go on Friday the 23rd.  

 The kicker here is that the Mens Gold Medal game will be played at 1:10 AM on Sunday Feb 25, which is usually my bed time on a Saturday night.  No idea how to maneuver this one.  The game will end around 3:30-4:00 AM.  Could be a long night Canada.  Unless you live on the West Coast.      

 It's the best time to be a sports fan, Winter Olympics are on!

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

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!
