The Fireside

Well this is definitely a surprise!! Ottawa has made it to the Eastern Final against Pittsburgh (and won the first game, as well). I am definitely pleasantly surprised that Ottawa has done so well thus far during the playoffs to make it this far. Keep it up Ottawa, you can win this..... In the West, the final two teams are Anaheim and Nashville. I'm pulling for Nashville; with hopes of an Ottawa - Nashville Cup Final....with Ottawa winning, of course. We'll see how it goes, but the playoff hockey has definitely heated up now!

I haven't been talking much about hockey lately, or the Stanley Cup Playoffs. My Ottawa Senators have been eliminated after one hell of a comeback, much to the delight of the Habs fans. That being said, let's have a look at the current playoff bracket..... In the West: Anaheim vs Calgary. I say: go Calgary! The one good Canadian team left in the playoffs that has the colors of red and white, and with a 'C' for a logo. Minnesota vs Chicago. I say: go Chicago! Montreal vs Tampa Bay or Detroit (I'm hoping it's Detroit) : I say: go Detroit! Though I will cheer Tampa Bay should they advance instead. New York (Rangers) vs Washington or New York (Islanders) (I'm hoping it's Washington) : I say: Go Washington! That was a match-by-match breakdown of the current playoff bracket. As you might have guessed by the picture up top; my team will now be the Calgary Flames, since that my usual go-to team, the St. Louis Blues, are now out. #FlameOn !!!
