Story-

In Montreal-The Habs came home up 2-0 in the series. The pre-game news, is Chara is back in the line-up for Boston and Kostitsyn is in for the Habs.

Montreal put on a playoff home opener like no other. The pre-grame ceromony rivaled one that would be reserved for the olympics. It was epic and I almost cried. The flame being skated round the rink and the excitement of the light show and the Habs are at home up 2-0. -Who would of guessed? Only died hard habs fans.

Boston had nothing to loose. After the opening ceremony it seemed all the pressure was on Montreal to win at home. Montreal could go up 3-o in the series but instead it was Boston scoring early and went up 3-0. Montreal would score back to back goals and come within a goal but late in the 3rd Boston would score on the empty net to make it a 4-2 final.

Boston scored first, and that is so important in this series. (As in any play off game) Momentum is everything.

Buf-Philly-Philly wins 4-2

Philly up 2-1 going into late minutes of 2nd

Official -Philly win it 4-2 take a 2 games to 1 lead in the series.

I have my eye on the habs games

Spring, The Nhl and Golf

Sports -

In the NHL

It is PLAYOFF TIME BABY - The Montreal Canadiens take on the Boston Bruins on thusday night - I am pumped. Can you TELL!!!! CAPS LOCKS

And to Boot, the NCAA MARRCH MADNESS just wrapped up. I have gone into sports excitement overload and I sharted my pants/ ok that is gross, I appologize about the potty humour I promise I am only excited and not drunk. I really didn't shart. Shart isn't even a word, but fart is.

Ok lets get the focus back. HOCKEY PLAYOFFS. But spring is also the best time of year. Winter is finally over. Best time of the year! Tomorrow I think i'll have the BBQ on and cook up a steak from the king st deli.

You may wonder, who do I think will win? Because I have come across a new stat. So hear me out.

I believe Vancouver will win the cup this year. Vancouver just hosted the olmpics and every time since 76 in Montreal when a Canadian city hosts the olympics their NHL team win's the Stanley cup the year after. Calgary won the cup in 89

Switch hit To the Masters: Golf

At the onset of the tourny I bet that KJ Choi would win the Masters. He didn't. Instead a south african by the name of ..... ?? Who was he. He came from nowhere I don't even know his name, won. I missed the final round with other work commitments (taxi) so I can't say how the last round looked. But Rory McIlroy what a performance thru 3 eounds, but he couldn't hold on, apparently he shot a 10 on a par 3 and he was out of it after that. He was leading for the most part and I have to say I feel bad that he couldn't pull it off the victory. It would of been nice to see Rory win it, he would of been the youngest to win the green jacket. Tiger Woods is the youngest to win the tournament winning it in 2001, he was 22 he won it again the next year and in 2005. Jack Nicklaus is the oldest to win it at the age of 46 in 1986, I was four years old and don't remember that of course. Nicklaus has won the tournament the most, 6 times, he first won the tournament in 1963. During that year there were civil rights fights, for blacks to be integrated into the school system.

NHL Playoffs

Sports -

Carolina Hurricanes need a win vs Atlanta to make the final playoff spot in the east. If they lose the Rangers will get the last spot. The Montreal Canadians are in the playoffs and will look to upset the Boston Bruins. Boston was my early call to win the East. It will be them and Philly who look like the teams to beat

In the West, Vancouver are the team to beat with the best season record and best goals for and against differential in the league. They will likely face-off vs the defending Stanley Cup Champs the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks no longer have their playoff monster Byfuglien who is now with Atlanta.

I believe a team from the East will win the cup this year. Looking forward to the playoffs.

Golf-The Master and Spring

The Masters tournament began today. My prediction: I believe K J Choi will win the Green Jacket this year. For me and many southern Ontari-ans, the Masters represents the beginning of spring and the near arrival of our golf season. I personally don't play as much golf as I'd like to and I wouldn't consider a membership, b/c I just don't have the time to golf. But I still get excited when the Masters are played the same when I was younger and played more, in my teen's. Still, the Masters is a sign of spring, and I get excited to play a game of golf. Good by winter and the melting snow, spring is finally here. I got new golf shoes, my roomate's dog ate my other shoes last year. I played one round in running shoes and hated it. I was used to golf shoes. I was only playing with my father and I played miserably and blamed my bad game for not having the proper traction with my feet. Now I have new shoes and no excuses for nect time with my father. I would still like to beat him one day but he has a much better game than I do. These days, I seem to only play with my relatives. My old golfin buddy moved to New Zealand. I'm sure he is slicing his way from fairway to fairway down there. "Old twinkle toes" we called him on the tee. His feet would shuffle east to west while he drove the ball. The club head would meet its target. Then the slice of the ball and cursing would ensue "Fuck!" . Another friend golfing with us coined the new name for golf, the new name was "Whack-fuck" whack was the sound of the club hitting the ball and the fuck was the first thing said directly after the shot and this happened on numerous occasions throughout the round. My mother wants to try and play golf. Her mother and my grandmother loved to golf. My sister got clubs for christmas last year. I am not sure how much she has golfed.

Habs Get Spanked

Video Blog Click Here - The Habs were in Boston to play the Bruins for the first time since the Chara on Pacioretty incident. The Habs were dominated on the ice tonight, loosing 7-0. We all know you can't win if you don't scrore and on a night the Habs couldn't even get a decent scroing chance they wanted revenge but they got into penalty trouble and they had life tonight. They looked flat and the Bruins looked tough. The Bruins could be a front runner for the stanley cup. Tim Thomas looks on his game and the bruins power play is very efficient. The habs took too many bad penalties. I couldn't watch much more of the game. So I decided to switch channels and watch Arizona upset the #1 seed Duke in the NCAA March Madness. Arizona will now play UCONN in the Elite 8. My bracket is a little out of whack with some of the recent upsets but I still got hope for Ohio to beat Kansas in the final.

How you doin'?
