As I'm sure many of you are aware, we are currently in NHL Beastmode. The current Round 1 standings are as follows:
- WEST
- Vancouver Canucks lead Chicago Blackhawks 3-1
- San Jose Sharkes lead LA Sharks 2-1
- Detroit Redwings lead Phoenix Coyotes 3-0
- Nashville Predators lead Anaheim Ducks 2-1
- EAST
- Washington Capitals lead New York Rangers 2-1
- Philadelphia Flyers lead Buffalo Sabres 2-1
- Montreal Canadiens lead Boston Bruins 2-1
- Pittsburgh Penguins lead Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1
Although the Penguins are by far my favourite team, they are crippled without Crosby and Malkin. Also they've been playing like shit (although Tampa has been also. Stamkos could demolish the entire Pens team single-handedly if he ever decided to show up for a game). Unfortunately I have little hopes for them. Even if they make it past the first round, they'll be eliminated in the second.
As a replacement for my beloved Penguins, who I realistically acknowledge have no hope, I am cheering for the Canucks! Last night the Hawks won their first game of the series, to start closing the gap. Apparently, this led to mass hate via Twitter on the Canucks fans. I was actually confused by this. What's the deal?? Are Nucks fans douchebags or something? Arrogant maybe? I actually have no idea. I never got that impression. But, from what I hear, it was overwhelming. Weirddddd. Regardless, I'm rooting for Vancity.
The Jays also beat the Yankees last night in the bottom of the 10th. I missed the game, unfortunately, and will probably miss today's too. Boourns. What I can tell you is Brett Cecil is pitching. Go Jays! #beastmode
On a completely random note, I will be starting work soon. I am torn. As much as I am enjoying my free time, I also like having a disposable income slash money to pay for tuition. I work at an amusement park. Next week I'll need to start going in for pre-season meetings, preparation, and training. In addition to training my staff, I will also need to learn a new point-of-sale system, since we've upgraded from the piece of shit we've been using the past 3 decades. There are also a lot of changes to the park itself, with new attractions and new operations. Exciting, in some ways, but also daunting. It opens in only 24 days.
