Anyone still watching hockey?

I guess I lied to my wife and myself when I said it was over when the B 's were eliminated. I am still tense and sleep deprived.
I am rooting for the team ( can't admit NY) to knock out the Habs. Watched the OT goal last nite.
Most of my life I never expected Stanley Cups or World Series Rings......just didn't want to be beat by the Canadiens or the Yankees.....
I was 28 years old the first time we beat the Canadiens in the playoffs......
I spent a lot of years watching us lose.....when we beat them in 7 in 2011 ....I swore at the TV. .....Blank blank Montreal.....my wife to this day.....couldn't believe my reaction.....

The suspensions given by the NHL today are so screwed up it isn't funny. Carcillo got ten games for "physical abuse" of an official? He was being manhandled by a much bigger linesman... and it happened while there was a fight going on, during which Carcillo should have been able to match up with a counterpart on the Canadiens, as often happens during a fight. That calls for an automatic ten? The rule calls for a three, ten, or twenty game suspension. Not condoning what Carcillo did, but the linesman's timing was critical, as it could have put Carcillo's team at a disadvantage until order was restored. So he is out for the rest of the playoffs....

And Prust's cheap blindside hit, that broke Stepan's jaw, only gets two games???? Stepan's injury will require surgery, likely leaving him out for the rest of the year. Rangers got screwed by the officials AND the league IMO.

No hockey tonight..... not enthused watching the Sox lately.
