3 things hockey related...
#1-bryan mccabe is a spineless coward. he was hit by a rookie playing what i think was his first game for montreal, and mccabe turned around and slashed him. not once, but twice. then this small rookie, drops his gloves to fight. mccabe didn't even have the cahoney's to drop his gloves in the first place. that would have been better, but even so, to fight a small kid? that spells coward in my books. oh yeah, in case anyone hasn't heard, toronto maple leafs didn't make the playoffs. i think that's just peachy!
#2-the montreal canadiens are #1! GO HABS!
#3-here are my playoff pool picks today. there were 6 of us and we all picked 12 players, just going on points.
1st pick-Sid the Kid Crosby (don't really love the penguins, but he is a brilliant player)
2nd pick-Alexei Kovalev (after his breakout year from a less than stellar previous record, i have high hopes for playoffs)
3rd pick-Teemu Selanne (came out of retirement a couple months ago and has been on fire ever since)
4th pick-Sergei Gonchar (i wanted a second pittsburgh player, as i expect them to go far)
5th pick-Corey Perry (i hate the anaheim ducks, but corey perry and selanne are strong offensive threats. ducks will go far)
6th pick-Milan Michalek (i'm picking san jose to meet montreal in the finals, strong player)
7th pick-Patrick Marleau (not his greatest year, but i expect him to be jacked for playoffs)
8th pick-Michael Ryder (underachiever all year, but will explode in playoffs. i have seen the future)
9th pick-Zach Parise (i needed to diversify in case my picks to win the first and second rounds don't go far)
10th pick-Brian Rolston (this will be a tough series fought to game 7 i think, rolston will put up some points)
11th pick-Tomas Holmstrom (detroit will go to second round at least, but will choke like usual, just filling out my roster)
12th pick-Petr Forsberg (big risk, but if he catches fire, he can do some real damage)
anyway, that is that. i have my entire house riding on this, so lets go all you 12 guys! bring home the bacon! literally, because if you don't, i'll have no home and need some bacon to make a home out of.

i just reread what i wrote about brian mccabe and realized that was really rude. i was going to erase it, but that would be lying. i felt that way at the time, but i've calmed down much since then. you knew he was just frustrated at the end of a tough loss and a tough season. there is still no excuse to throw cheap shots, but i should be more understanding. i would and have done similar things. also, i read that and realized without knowing it that i was endorsing fighting. i hate violence on the TV, but for some reason in hockey, or any sport for that matter, it excites me and i have an easier time justifying it. i'm not sure why, but i'm pretty sure that makes me a hypocrite. anyway, i think that i think too much, because i have moral dilemmas on everything from world issues to the kind of socks i wear to hockey fights. maybe i should take up drinking.
