WE'RE IN!

Last night was a preview of what's to come in the next few weeks as the bar was teeming with hockey fans decked out in uniforms, eyes glued to the TV's. What was at stake? Prime playoff spots with only a couple of days left in the regular season. Going into last night, the NY Rangers need just one win in the last two games to secure a playoff spot. Unfortunately, the last two games were going to be against the Philadelphia Flyers, their heated and very tough rivals.

From the beginning of the game, the Ranger fans were pumped up and chanting fight songs and when the Blueshirts jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the place erupted. That was good to see and even when Philadelphia scored a goal to cut the lead to one, the Ranger fans were still feeling pretty confident about their chances. When it came down to the final few seconds of the game and it became apparent that the Blueshirts were going to score a win and a slot in the playoffs, the bar celebrated as if they had already won the Stanley Cup.

So, that being said, we have the NY Rangers in the playoffs. My Montreal Canadians also secured a playoff spot last night, even though they lost in overtime to Boston. The point secured for a regulation tie was enough to get them in. Now we kick back and see who plays who. Playoffs begin next Wednesday.

MOST DISTURBING THING OVERHEARD LAST NIGHT: I was standing next to a guy who happened to be chatting it up with his buddy when he said matter-of-factly, "I think I just sharted...". WTF?
