Alot to say

Wow. The NHL regular season is already over. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday that my family and I were waiting outside starting at 7 a.m. to get tickets to the Canes vs Capitals preseason game. How time flys and boy do I have a lot to say about this past season and the post season ahead.

I will warn you I am still mourning and definately bitter that my team didn't make the playoffs. This post will not be politically correct and the people who are fans of the following teams may be offended: Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers, Rangers, and Ducks. So if you happen to be a fan of any of these teams than you probably won't like what I have to say. Ok now that is taking care of.

Some of you (Canadians) will probably wonder why I am writing this blog on hockey instead of taking me and my 16 kids to a NASCAR race. Well, all I have to say is that I am late with my trailer payment and I am afraid to leave because they might come take that thing off my lot. So I just sit at home and watch hockey.

Lets start with the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

East
I think that the Montreal Canadiens will make it to the Stanley Cup finals. They had the number one power play in the NHL this season and Cary Price has given them great goal tending. Yes, he may not have playoff experience but either did Cam Ward and we know how well that turned out. If anyone is able to beat them I think it would be Pittsburgh but right now my pick is Montreal.

I think the Washington Capitals will go out first round. Although I wouldn't mind seeing them make it past the first round. I would love to see a Rangers/Capitals series. I would love to see Sean Avery drive Ovechkin to the loony bin. When Ovechkin closes his eyes at night I want Sean Avery to be the one he sees. BTW, why I am at it let me say this:

Hey Sean baby, I want you to know you have 100% of my support on the Kristin Davis thing. I understand completely. People should leave you alone on this. If I were an ugly, annoying, coward I would pay for a hooker to get my needs met too. Just wanted to give my support.

West
In the west I think that the Sharks or Ducks have a good chance to make it to the playoffs. I personally would rather see the Sharks make it. CHRIS PRONGER!!?!!? Need I say more? This man gets 8 games for doing the same exact thing that Chris Simon got 30 games for? Are you kidding me? Damn Mr. Colin Campbell you don't try to hide your favoritism do you? Do you hate all Native Americans or just Chris Simon? Or is it that Pronger is a superstar? Tell me Campbell when Pronger (or Ovechkin) kills someone what will they get? 10 games? Yea, that sounds fair. You are a joke, as is your son on the Florida Rejects (oh I mean Panthers).

Final: Canadiens vs Sharks

NHL Officiating
Come on, are you serious? It is atrocious! Game in game out these people are screwing team after team. I understand that hockey is a very fast sport. I am smart enough to know that calls will be missed and there is nothing that can be done about that. I can tell you what can be done though. Calls do not have to be invented. Calls do not have to be missed when the refs are looking right at the infraction and calls should be CONSISTENT!!!
Anyone want an example? Matt Cooke of the Washington Capitals hit Vincent Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay lighting who did not have the puck. One official was right there. Was it called? Yea right! The strange thing is Cooke was fined after. There should of been a penalty. None was called. Lecavalier shoulder was dislocated and he will require surgery.

Anyways, I realize this post sounds bitter and angry. Well, it is bitter and angry. Let my anger and sadness subside and than maybe I will have something better and nicer to say.
