So it ended last night, my Habs had a wonderful season that was a thousand times better than anyone expected it to be but the second round of the playoffs leaves a bittersweet feeling that's hard to swallow. What didn't allow us to go any further was Price, our young goalie. A veteran goalie by his side would have been a great help in the series. Obviously the mental pressure was too much for him to take at such a young age. The team in front of him played pretty good but the goalie is part of the team so if a goalie cannot perform at 100% and lets the pucks enter easily in the net without a fight then you're in for a disaster. From what I've seen in this series, if the goalie did the job as expected of him, my Habs deserved a shot at the next round. What a team needs to move on has to do with lots of hard work and lots of chance. Chance definitely wasn't on our this time around. Next year....maybe!
Now the Flyers won and I can name two reasons why they did:Biron, the goalie was both good and lucky, and R. J Umberger. Umberger didn't score that often in the regular season but in the series it seems he's always there at the right spot to shot the puck in the net. I do think the Flyers are gonna need a lot more than luck to beat the Penguins (ok, they haven't officially won yet, the Rangers are still in for now but in case the Penguins do win, which they should do today). Pittsburgh has an incredibly gifted team of young players and they have about all it takes to win the Stanley Cup. Although I root for Dallas to win the cup I certainly acknowledge the greatness of the Penguins, they're on a mission to win and unless something really bad happens they should be the winner in the eastern conference.

The Flyers wanted it more and they got very lucky. I think they can beat the Pens.....but Biron will have to be more than lucky and the Flyers must beat Fleury. I am hoping the Pens lose today so the Flyers get an extra day. They need it.
I must nurse my headache before I go see Iron Man. Oh and Baby Mama is so worth seeing.
I'm not a Penguins fan but if the Flyers wanna beat the Penguins they'll have to play much better than they did in the last 5 games. Luck is a factor, something my Habs didn't have but luck is like the wind...it never stays at the same place too long.
Let me know what you thought about Iron Man. I was wondering if it was any good. Have a great time at the theater my friend. ;)
So much for the Pens losing today.
Iron Man was pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the comics but it was a little funny and I dig the suit....Although I'm not sure I would have cast Gwyneth Paltrow as the female lead.
