HELLO STANLEY!
The Edmonton Oilers have made the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1990.
This has been my most intense year as a hockey fan. For the first time Dad and I decided to get NHL Centre Ice so we could follow our teams every night. As an Oiler fan I never got to see more than 10 games a year. This year, I saw almost every game. It's a ( Read more... ) -
No Good Deed...
I hate cats.
This is an important thing to mention before I get into my very odd night.
Perhaps hate is a strong word. I certainly don't really like them. Cats are not my cup of tea. They're often very cold. I had a bad experience for years with my Uncle Ricky's cat who would scare the crap out of me whenever I tried to go upstairs to the ( Read more... ) -
Eastern Conference Final
The pieces just don't fit here. We've got two rookie goaltenders. We've got two defensive units without any stand outs. We've got one team (Buffalo) who has no significant playoff experience on their roster. This just doesn't sound like a conference final. Yet, Carolina and Buffalo both had a relatively easy time getting to this point.

I think 4 posts of old Shawn material is enough for one afternoon. I hope everyone is enjoying Scott and Dan's return to Ottawa. Too bad I couldn't be there.
Also of very important note: Amy and I ( Read more... ) -

Hockey Preview: Round 2
Josh: What a rough game for both teams. You know Ryan Miller walked into the locker room and said something to the effect of "sorry guys, thanks for bailing me out!" I hate that. People call 1-0 and 2-1 games boring, but I'd rather watch games like those than this one. Ugly.
Meantime, we learned that Ottawa is human, after all, and that Emery needs ( Read more... )
