The important thing here people is that the Washington Caps are continuing their victory march through the NHL in Edmonton tonight.
You know, they could go 82-0 and would still get bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

That is why I am trying to make the most of this :P

Did I mention I got a front row Ticket to Saturday's Leaf Game?   :)

You didn't, but since they're the Leafs, I'm sure it won't be entertaining.  The Leafs are the assassins of joy.

I was going to try to take my brother in law and father in law to the Redwings- Blue Jackets game Tuesday night but they decided they didn't want to do the 2 hour drive up & back from Columbus.  Which sucks, because it turned out to be a good game (for the Blue Jackets anyway) & at one point I could have gotten tickets for as cheap as $6 apiece on Stubhub.

I may try to take Tommy up for his first NHL game when Toronto comes to town Nov. 3.

Try a minor league game. He'll like the fights and cheap shots.

So I went and got NHL Centre Ice.   :homestar:

And proceeded to watch the strangest game I've seen in a long time.  Final score was Jets 9, Flyers 8.  There were 4 lead changes, 3 goalie pulls, and two 4 goal leads blown by the Jets, until they finally pulled it out in the end. :wacko:

But as my first principal told me during articling "a win is a win".  So I'll take this win as a possible good omen to this 7 game road trip.

:cool:

Well, so much for the Capitals.

Apparently the Jets-Philly game was the highest scoring game since the lockout.   :cool:

It was at least a good game to watch live.

Crap I was watching the Rangers choke away the World Series championship so I did not stream it.  This is what happens when I miss a game.  Fuck.

Another nice win by the Jets, who are really turning it on during this road trip.   :cool:

Jets come back from a 2-0 deficit to send it into OT.

Of course they lose in OT, but still a gutsy show by the boys from the Peg.

Leafs suck.

You can say that again. That was bad. Glad I had front row $460 tickets to last week's game.
