Folks, we are on the edge of something... Imagine. A Stanley Cup playoff. With three (count 'em!) Canadian teams competing for a drink from Lord Stanley's silverware. And none of them from Toronto, Montreal or Edmonton! Wheee! How many times has it happened that the only spring hockey we get out here in the west features teams from the other two really big Canadian cities but Vancouver misses the dance? Wouldn't it be loverly?
I can see the HNIC executives in Toronto having several species of bird. Some months ago, when there was a Senators-Sabres tilt that everyone except those along the Mtl-Tor corridor wanted to see, they imposed their nearly meaningless game on everyone but the Ottawa Valley. Well, we're back and bright, and we may be at the dance that you won't get to. All it takes is a Maple Leafs win and an Islanders loss and we'll have an EDM-TOR-MTL-free Stanley Cup Playoff. And probably still have three Canadian teams in the running.
I know. It's silly. Clearly, I need to go out back and stare at that rainwater-glazed wheelbarrow for awhile to re-achieve my sense of perspective and equilibrium.
