Well I keep forgetting that I have this fantastic medium of musing my thoughts, called a glog. Or something. I don't know. I didn't really get it when the webmaster tried to explain it to me, but he slammed his fist on the desk and told me to "just start typing, for f***'s sake," so here we are.
I am watching my current hometown NHL team, the Ottawa Senators, play their first playoff game of the season, currently with a 1-0 lead over the Habs. Last night I was at work and didn't get to see my Maple Leafs play sir first playoff gam in nearly a decade, ending the league's longest playoff draught. Needless to say though, a 4-1 loss against Boston probably wasn't a game worth watching anyway.
But I have a theory. My theory is that after having to played a playoff gamin so long, they forgot that they were not, in fact, on the golf course, and thus, the low score would not win. Now that they've played a game and been reminded of such, they'll get it together and take it from here.
The series that really has me torn though is the Sens/Canadiens series. Let's say Toronto does lace up their skates and manage to get past Boston; who would I want to see them playing against in a future round. Their record this season against both teams this year is quite good, possibly coming out a little further ahead against Ottawa than against Montreal. That being said, Montreal started to slip near the end of the season and is now coming back with vengeance. Ottawa on the other hand is up, down, and all over the place! It is hard to say who would give us a better chance.
The real saving grace for the Leafs this year though was the half-season. For the past many years, they have played a phenomenal start to the season, usually held their own until about the halfway point, and the started to slip. This season, only playing half a season eliminated their slip time and ended their draught. Way to go boys.

I apologize for the essay, but good job if you made it this far. I also apologize for all the typos. If there are any, I haven't done any proof reading. I am typing this on the touch screen keyboard on my iPad. Apple paid me to say that.
