I Thought You Were Back?

Okay, maybe I picked a terrible time to come back to blogging.

 My commute to work for the last 3.5 years has been a 500 M walk down the street.  I rarely run into any other people during this walk, and have the luxury of arriving at the exact moment I need to everyday.

 This week I was shuttled off to "training" and had a 35 minute commute. While this greatly increased my podcast listening time, it took away from the joys of having spare time to throw up a blog.

Tonight is the second half of a home and home with I guess our biggest rivals of late the Ottawa Senators.  Drouin dropped this little bit of shade yesterday after practice and I love it!  You can tell the Habs dressing room is 1000% better place to be this season, and who expected playoff potential from this team that was projected to finish last.  

 Tonight is a big game for the Sens.  If they win, they can get themselves into the playoff hunt down the stretch into the Christmas season.  If they lose they sit 6 points back from the Habs.  

 Thinking back to the grind of last season, our holiday game against the Florida Panthers was the moment I gave up on the team.  

 I think much like that game, tonight could be a pivotal point in the Senators season.  

 If they give us 2 points tonight in their own barn things could spiral really quickly in Ottawa.  I mean, can this team get any "lower"?

 So let's sit back and enjoy that.

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!

Reasons Your Favourite Team Isn't Making The Playoffs

Leafs Head Coach Randy Carlyle going for the classic look Every year there are a number of teams who do not make the NHL playoffs.  For some, April is when the season ends every year.  For others, it's becoming a new tradition.  In Montreal, it's the end of the world. For every team there are some tell-a-tale signs as to why their not in the race for the cup.  I've taken a close look at a few of the teams who won't be making the playoffs this year, and examined why that is the case: - Your favourite team fired a long time and dedicated American coach.  In his replacement your GM decided to hire a new coach who looks more like Benny Hill mixed with Chief Wiggum, then a serious looking NHL bench boss. - Your favourite team is made up of a bunch of young kids, who decided it would be a better idea to miss the playoffs than risk having embarrassing facial hair for the spring. - You cheer for the Florida Panthe......wait, what...
