I was told once in a previous life that I crave total business and frenetic situations. Well I guess everyone was right. The more hectic things get, the better things go. Screw that when the going gets tough mumbo jumbo crap. There are five games in all but at least my heart pointed to Montreal as Pat Burns was laid to rest. Just to be truthful, when you get to knows these hockey people, one just realizes how much alike they are from every normal person. My condolences go out to a heavy hearted hockey community and the Burns family. This is a tough time of year to lose such a person. Always remember the good times. They are what get you past all the bad ones.
Like I said, five games including the Freeway Series between LA and Anaheim. This one is interesting because both teams come in a bit gimpy. The funniest thing in LA hockey circles is reading how the Kings need to do this or that to salvage their season. Are you serious? Is this game tonight really that much of a must win? Wow, expectations must be ramping up in the City Of Angels. Strange days indeed.
The New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins also play early tonight. The game is in the Igloo so expect an extra man advantage situation or two for Pittsburgh. Before Pens fans hop down my throat again (they seem to do that often), this is just a truth of sorts that is corroborated by the numbers (the actual average is 1.1 more PP’s at home). The Penguins need this win more than the Rangers to keep up with the Flyers. All the Rangers seem to worry about is finishing the month with double digit wins. Well it appears that way anyhow.
