Pace on Earth

Heart and Soul

Wednesday night the NHL playoffs started and men around the country began their two month hockey hibernation. Between now and the first week of June decisions around where to be on any given night will revolve around who has the bigger tv. Sorry North.

The Habs Drive for 25 started last night in Boston. They came out on the losing end but were pesky (and maybe even a little cheap) right to the end. The Bruins are probably the better, deeper team. But that hasn't stopped them from getting upset in the past. Regardless of how long this goes it will be a good series.

Out west both the Canucks might be able to ride Luongo deep into the playoffs but getting past both San Jose and Detroit will be tough. Calgary needs to get past Chicago first and last night was not a good start. Bottom line: it doesn't look good that we will be seeing the Cup back in Canada where it belongs. Hope springs eternal though.

It's probably overstated but playoff hockey is actually much better to watch than the regular season. Stuff that players wouldn't get away with in games 1 through 82 is brushed away with the "that's just playoff hockey" line. And it's true, what wins games in the regular season is secondary to what wins games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Heart and Soul.

This whole post was basically an excuse to post that song - 'Hot Lovin' Every Night!'.

Pace out.

PS - Go Habs!

Go Habs!
