They Did It!

Best Coach's Corner In Years.
Well it was a bit of a shaky start but your Montreal Canadiens pulled off what they needed to do heading into the playoffs, beat two Canadian teams.  Last night was pretty awesome, minus the lack of overall drama but hey a win is a win.

Now we wait.

A Boston win tonight screws everything up and we are sent down to play the Leafs in the first round.  A Sens win and we play the Sens in the first round.  It's tough to cheer for a team that you may have to play in the first round of the playoffs, but for the the next 12 hours we are all Sens fans.

I could care less about a Montreal vs Toronto series.  If it happened deep in the playoffs for the East title then ya, maybe that would be exciting, but a first round match up is just plain lame.  The only thing playing Toronto would do is wear us emotionally out for the second round matchup, which may be against the Penguins at that point.  I'd rather play the Sens and beat them out in 6 then have to deal will all the hype and emotion of a Montreal vs Toronto series.  If it happens then yes I'll get caught up in it, if it doesn't then I'm happy because I'll be at Game 3 or 4 of the series.

So all eyes are on the Sens game tonight at 7 PM on Sportsnet.  Enjoy the ratings Sportsnet.

Let's all save ourselves the misery of watching the Blue Jays today and flip on your future World Junior stars taking on the USA for the Gold Medal of the IIHF Under 18 Hockey Tourney.

Or we could all go outside, it's shorts weather baby.

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

Iron Man 3 Is Awesome, So Are The Habs

So I've seen a period and a half of this series so far.... unacceptable.  But I did see Iron Man 3 last night to kick off the summer and it was AWESOME! Basically the Sens are in the drivers seat of this series.  Sunday night and Tuesday night are huge.  Montreal needs to win at least one of those games, and both if they want to control this series. Oh, and screw you Sun Media.  Nice front page, assholes! The Canucks are basically done and on their way to being swept out after an OT lose last night. The stupid Maple Leafs sucks and I refuse to watch their game tonight.  I really don't care who wins that series, they both are god awful teams.  If you want to watch a really good game check out the Ducks vs. Red Wings game tonight at 7:30, that'll be a beaut.  Go Saku! And if you're really looking for some exciting action then why not watch the annual Kentucky Derby!  Probably the most intense final 10 seconds in sports.  ...
