Ooops ... I seem to have forgotten to post...

I got kinda distracted by hockey and haven't posted in a bit. I am sure you have all missed me tons.

But PLAYOFFS... now those of you who know me, know it is all about the SHARKS! So I have been at the arena or in front of my t.v. watching them beat Detroit (or checking out the competition by watching all the other games).

This is our year! I was hoping though that Boston would win their series tonight so that we could play on Friday. But now since the Bruins and Flyers are going to game 7, the earliest we can play is Sunday.

This is problematic to me for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it negates some of our advantage to being rested, since Chicago will have 4 days to rest and practice before our series starts. And second, it pushes the series out further on the calendar meaning that the vacation I scheduled months ago, may mean I am out of town when the Sharks WIN the Stanley Cup.

How is that for irony, I haven't taken an international vacation (other than to visit family in Puerto Rico, and I am not sure that counts as international) in over 5 years and as soon I schedule a trip to London for June, the Sharks finally make it far into the post season. So I guess I will cross my fingers for the Habs and the Sharks to win their respective series in 4 or 5 games and then I should be able to go to at least the first two games. Otherwise I will have to find a pub that will air the games in the wee hours of the morning.
