It's Playoff Time

OK being a Penguins fan and not having a chance to cheer them on this postseason, I'm going to take a chance and try to predict the Western and Eastern Conference finals then the Stanley Cup Finals, so here goes.

The West to me is the hardest to predict since here on the East Coast we don't get to see them a lot, we just get to read up on them and that's not the same but in spite on San Jose playing as hot as they are I'm going with Calgary and Detroit in the Conference with Detroit going to the Finals. Calgary has the best goaltending but I think that Detroit's special teams will take them to play for Lord Stanley's Cup.

The East is no less complicated just better known to me, and being a former goaltender myself how can anyone bet against Marty Brodeur and the NJ Devils. It's strange but I'm going against the formula I used in the West to pick the East's Champions. I believe that Buffalo's special teams will get them to the Conference finals but NJ's goaltending will get them to the Stanley Cup. So it's Buffalo and New Jersey in the East.

Now onto the Stanley Cup Finals where I think that the Cup will go to the Detroit Redwings as Steve Yzerman will get the sendoff that pretty much everyone thinks that he deserves. Now all I need to make this come true is for Manny Legace to pull it all together this postseason.

Let me know what you think and who you are cheering for, personally I'm going for all my former Penguins in New York, how wrong is that?

You know it's spring when...

Oh yeah It's Spring when the Cincinnati Reds start to hit the ole cowhide outa the park and their pitchers serve up gopher balls like they're on a tee. Baseball is back and I'm excited. Of course I won't be taking part in any baseball this season as I have to wait approximatly 8 to 12 more months for surgery on my shoulder. I have a torn or seperated Labrum fun stuff. Although I do plan on going out and taking some pictures of the Senior League home here. If I can't play I might as well watch and document.

There's lot's of stuff that has been happening lately, I'm getting a promotion, I'm officially not going back to school at this time, reasons will be announced in about 3-4 weeks. We have a long lost relative coming to visit the family in May or June which is very cool, we all look forward to meeting them for the first time ever.

It's spring and I'm doing my best to keep My Bro' from going insane while he contemplates where he's off to next. Minor distractions like sports , wrestling and video games only go so far. Hopefully we can find some other stuff to do as it gets warmer.

After being cooped up for a very unusual winter what does everyone plan to do with their spring?
