Xmas in April

With the NHL regular season over the NEW NHL season is about to begin.   This is what MANY Canadians anticipate since the all-star game.   This is when the best games, most emotion and most beer is consumed.

TSN will be covering up to 28 games in the first round of the playoffs!   While the CBC will be covering every Canadian hockey game.     The playoff eve and the first night of playoffs many people participate in playoff pools or playoff brackets.     BBQ’s begin, trash talking begins and city mayor’s make silly wagers.   Ahhh, the playoffs!

The Canadian teams / games are

Ottawa vs Pittsburgh:  This will be a FAST and EXCITING series.   Crosby, Malkin and Staal vs Alfredson, Spezza and Heatley.  Who can score more goals?   or which Goalie will stand out?
Vancouver vs Dallas:    Goaltending match-up.    Luongo is in his first playoffs while Turco has never done good in the playoffs.   Who’ll be the hero?
Calgary vs Detroit:      Which team can grind it out four games first?   This will be a hard-hitting tough series for both teams.
Ahhhh, the playoffs.   Wait there was nothing snarky about this blog.   I know, but seriously, aren’t the playoffs great?
