  1. I admit I've completly tuned out of the NHL playoffs since the Habs were eliminated. Too many other things going on I suppose and not enough interest in the remaining teams.

    At this point I'd like to see a Tampa Bay vs San Jose final. I probably won't watch it but I will take pleasure in seeing the team that knocked out Montreal eliminated and also keep the Canucks from winning the Cup and hence giving Danny Heatley a Cup.

  2. I can't wait to see one of Harper's new super-jail, aka Collins Bay Pen, up-and-running in my old neighbourhood, which still houses my mom, Booche and bouch's mom and Davey Boy's parents. Great idea.

    The middle class lost last night.

    As long as it provides jobs I'm all for it ;)

  3. can you design a cool logo for my work's project team? we develop web apps... the name is Wolf Pack

    seriously. i'm supposed to come up with a logo (make a shirt and brand ourselves within the department) but I think you would do a better job.

    I'll send you details if you want to do this for us. Not sure what I can get you in return, but I'll think of something.

    Who needs shirts? Go with this...

  4. MONTREAL -- File this under "Only in Canada."

    A move is afoot to reschedule a federal election debate slated for Thursday so it doesn't conflict with the opening game of the Montreal Canadiens' first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins.

    Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe got the ball rolling Sunday by saying there's little doubt hockey-mad Montreal fans will choose the game over the debate.

    NDP Leader Jack Layton later echoed those sentiments, the Liberals followed suit, and the Conservatives said they could live with whatever the debate broadcasters decide.

    Bloc leader Duceppe wants other party leaders to join him in urging the consortium of broadcasters who organize the debate to move it back a day.

    He pointed out that the first English debate is scheduled for Tuesday, before the playoffs begin. The only other Canadian team in the playoffs is the Vancouver Canucks, who still don't know their first-round opponent.

    "All I'm asking is that the debate take place Wednesday so that Quebecers have as much access to this debate as Canadians," Duceppe said.

    "We all know that hockey is very popular in Canada and in Quebec, which is why it would be a better idea to push the French debate back to allow hockey fans to watch the debate as well as the game on Thursday night."

    The response from two of the other parties was strongly in favor, while the answer from the Tories was more equivocal.

    A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the decision belongs to the broadcasters and the Tory leader will be there whichever day they choose.

  5. All the bitching aside about who is playing well in relation to their contract or not...

    The Habs are pretty much where I expected them to be... a 5th to 8th seed entering the playoffs. Price will need to play well in the playoffs and the rest of the team will need to pull it together if they are to se any success.

    Montreal isn't Detroit... a team that is pretty much always guaranteed a playoff spot and is always in contention...

    The Habs need some luck, strong goaltending and to play consistently for the playoff run.

    I'm not expecting too much out of them but I will enjoy what I can.
