Had a marvelous extended weekend (the early rundown is here). Monday, my "day off" (since I'm working half a day this coming Saturday before helping to destroybuild crap at GMBAS) was spent doing yardwork, going to lunch with some of K's former coworkers, taking a much-needed nap, and then playing some video games & watching the only Game 7 of the opening round of the NHL playoffs.

Said playoffs resume on Wednesday, with Buffalo laying the smack down on another team from the NYC area. Hell, if the Sabres & Devils advance, Buffalo can go for the trifecta when it comes to putting the screws to The City (Islanders, Rangers, Devils). Hey, unlike the NFL, the Islanders & Rangers actually play in New York. Not that this will help them from Barney Rubble's Electric Toupee (alternately, the Rampaging Banana Slug).

Classy move by the team on Friday - bringing out the old-school Blue & Gold with the Buffalo Rampant and Crossed Sabres - for the first home-ice opportunity to eliminate a playoff opponent since 2001.

Heyyyy, the Devils are not "The City". There is a whole rest of the state that exists for reasons other than to give NYC worker bees a cheap place to live, ya know.

If you can smell Newark, it's "The City." ;-)

I'm hoping for a Sabers-Sharks final, but I'm thinking it'll be Sabers-Ducks. At least I can safely root for Buffalo in the later case. No way I want to see Chris Pronger hold the cup (or Selanne, for that matter), as much as I feel Jiggy deserves it.

T&I were talking about how easy Buffalo's travel schedule is. Roll out of bed, walk across the state, play game, go home. Lather, rinse, repeat for each series. Compared to *some* teams that have to fly around the world for each game ;-)

Wish me luck w/Sharks ticket roulette online in a few hours!
