I don't know enough about the pairings. In hockey, I'm a bandwagon follower. Only been to one game in my life. It was at the Tank. So, go local boys.

I will probably be at the Shark Tank sometime next year. If you're around, I will buy you a beer.

I'm still waiting for the Birmingham Bulls to triumphantly return.

I'm guessing Buffalo and San Jose meet in the finals.

How sad is it that I haven't logged on in a while, yet I had two thoughts when I heard Dallas lost.

1. Damn, now the Red Wings gotta play on the West Coast.
2. Icepigs suicide watch.

You okay, little buddy?

Why the f-bomb do the refs decide that Game 7 is the time to test out their whistles? Let the freakin' players play, you little facist bar stewards.










Sorry.
These grapes seem particularly sour this morning.

I broke 3 ribs last week.

My son got into a ruckus at school and was suspended for a day.

The Stars lost.


I'm not in the best of moods today...

OK....I was 7 of 8 in the first round.

Here's my modified predictions for round 2:

Rangers, Devils, Wings, Ducks advance
