Playoff Season

I think my favorite thing about this playoff season is that Toronto didn’t make it. *giggles* … One side of me likes it because I hate the leafs, but also… I don’t have to see all my friends get their hopes up and then have them crash down when Toronto gets kicked out 2nd or 3rd round. Now they know… it’s just not going to happen. And probably never will again. I think this is the 52nd year since Toronto has won a cup. *sorry, i was wrong, it’s only been 41 years, but they have won it the 3rd most times in the league. Colorado won it twice… that’s 16% of their years in the league where as Toronto, even with 21 wins sits at  23%, and for a lot of those years there were only like 5 other teams to go up against… my point here is… Toronto sucks.* The last time the Avs won it? 2001. Delicious.

Anyway - I’ve been following hockey in the time that I have, but haven’t actually watched any games this season (I know…) And I’m still amused by the “shitty” teams now being in the top 10 simply because of the cap. That cap changed so much. But Detroit and Montreal are still the top 2 (as it sits now) …. I’m not so sure anything can really bring them down. Dallas and Colorado aren’t as high as I’d like them to be, but I still heart them.

Last night I sat in on a really good discussion with my parental units and a few of their friends. I meant to come down and start writing about it but I drank a lot of wine and watched Sex and the City instead. I will write about it after I get home from work tonight. It’s good. I promise.

WOO! GO AVS! Forsy was a star last night :)

I honestly cannot believe the level of Leafs fantardness at this school. I guess its all the Toronto kids that come here… but still, surely you’d expect at least SLIGHTLY more diversity of opinion then we see. Game nights downtown make me wonder about society, it’s like 200 of the same dude with the same jersey and the same hat go out and yell the same shit… it really messes with me sometimes.

When i lived in res a couple years ago i was floored at the number of leaf fans i lived with. i was a lonely avs fan amongst toooons of leaf fans. it was disgusting! I try and avoid downtown (especially the sports bars and irish pubs - Bobby’s, McCabes, Filthy’s… they seem to be the worst) as not to get a testosterone/leafs stupidity overload.
