My Beautiful Hockey Team

What a beautiful Hockey Team I cheer for! Yes the Montreal Canadiens. They beat the lowly Boston Bruins tonite 8-2. Usually I am against these high scoring games cause they can get boring as I would rather see a 2-1 or 1-1 game with end to end action. But tonite's game was different in the fact that my favorite team was winning and winning well and the fact that it was Boston they beat! Yes the ol rivalry between Boston and the Habs is still there and I remember some good games from the 70's and 80's between these two. Especially the late 70 playoff series these two met in. Oh yeah, how many cups did Montreal win from 76-79. Wasn't it 4 in a row! Anyway I think that is where my dislike for the Bruins started. Don't get me wrong Boston had some good players along the way and spme classy guys like Bobby Orr, and my all time favorite- Canadian who should be Prime Minister-Don Cherry who was their coach in th elate 70's. Remember the too many men penalty in the 79 stanley cup playoffs and the video clip of that moment at the sart of caoche's corner?
So it was a good nite that the habs are back and got production from all 4 lines and Alex Kovalev is playing like he has a new lease on life. So looks like the Habs are going to be part of the playoff picture this year and I hope they can go along way.
Anyway "vivre les habs"

Habs Lose, No NASCAR, New Guitar

Habs Miss Playoffs



Thanks to the Toronto Maple Laughs (oh sorry,.... Leafs) the Habs are out of the playoff race and will be joining me on the golf course! Well not really would be cool though to met a few on the course. Anyway my beloved Habs sit out the post season once again. Kind of their own fault when you have to wait til the last game of the season to make it into the playoffs then really you don't have a team worthy of going far anyway, but I still hope they would make it maybe next year!
As it being Easter weekend there is no Nextel Cup race this weekend so now what am I going to do? Well seeing I have taken up guitar playing (don't worry wife says I'm getting better) I might as well play that today. I bought a second guitar yesterday as my first one is in the shop getting the nut on the neck fixed, (don't think I broke it but who knows!) So I bought a new Yamaha, pretty sweet locking guitar, could use some airbrush artwork on it though I think, that is my next project to find an artist who can do airbrush work on guitars

Nascar Tires in Vegas and the HAbs

NASCAR BUSCH SERIES From Vegas,

Well it seems as if Good Year wants to have lots of crashes at the newly renovated and freshly paved Las Vegas Speedway. The tires seem to have everyone on edge as during qualifying and the Busch series race on Saturday everyone was super lose. Many crashes were from guys getting lose opn restarts and almost all of them said the same thing.....the tires are too hard and its like driving on black ice. Sunday's race could be mayhem!

On with the Habs,

well after losing 5 games in a row the HAbs finally one tonite in St Louis. But everone ahead of them is winning as well as Montreal sits 11th 3 points out of the 8th and final playoff berth! It will be an uphill battle from here.
Go HABS Go
