Ugh, the fact that all these games are so close together and I have barely any time to write anything (I haven't even written the eulogies for the 3 eliminated teams...) but hey, I'll do my best in VERY quickly writing something for the conference finals.

( Conference Finals ahoy! )

Hey, just because I'm working 7 out of 14 days a week (and spend the rest of them recovering from those 7 days), it doesn't mean that I'm not interested in hockey. I just have less time to devote to it or write about it. Anyways, I digress. Today is important because we have our 1st conference final team, for the Western Conference.

( Day 26, we're getting closer! )

We've just finished the playoff quarterfinals last night (in double overtime no less) and we're ALREADY going onto the 2nd round tonight, starting with the Western Conference. Let's just say that all my previous prognostications were...completely wrong and move on, shall we?

It's April, and we know what that means! No playoff hockey in Toronto! Yay! [/sarcasm ( Read more... )

Doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I was studying for the CRNE (the last time I studied for anything until now) and wow, I feel drained. I didn't know that being out of school/class for 9 months can actually do this to you. Now I know (ie: never going back to school again) XD ( Read more... )

For the Penguins, there are 3 games that matter the most to them on Saturday ( Read more... )
