GO HABS GO!

Tricolore jusqu' au bout!!!! ("Habs Until the End") That was the general feeling amongst the fans of the Canadiens after they pulled off an improbable 3-2 OT victory over the top-seeded Washington Capitals. The 8th seeded Canadiens were looked upon to have virtually no shot at making it past the first round against the powerful Capitals, however, they simply played their hearts out (shutting down mega star Alex Ovechkin in the process) and followed the early trend of the underdogs winning in the first round of the playoffs.

Speaking of underdogs, out of the first seven playoff games played, the favorites won only two of them (Vancouver and Buffalo). The underdogs (Phoenix, Montreal, Philadelphia, Colorado and Ottawa), surprised everyone by stealing Game 1 and making the playoffs that much more interesting. Tonight's schedule include the following:

7pm:
Pittsburgh vs Ottawa

7:30p
New Jersey vs Philadelphia

8:30pm
Chicago vs Nashville

10pm
Detroit vs Phoenix

10:30pm
Colorado vs San Jose

Add to that full slate of games, both the Yankees (vs Texas) and Mets (vs Cards) and we have a full night of sports, something for everyone!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST NIGHT..

Now I have to finish off the to-do list before work tonight, so I'm signing out (for now).


That's It. That's All I Got.
