We have a bet with a TV station in Montreal on the upcoming series. The loser has to send a package of goodies relating to their own city. Our anchors will be doing live hits with their anchors, starting tomorrow. Should be fun.

Other than one of the sports guys announcing they have extra tickets, unfortunately no.

Yeah, and by the time I get in, the sports guys are wrapping up there day, and any tickets they had are usually gone. But if I score some and have an extra, fear not, I'll give you a ring!

Oh how nice, thanks for the thought.

Artex, I heard it was a radio station...I think it was 990AM. Woohoo...let the games begin.

Who can believe it....Calgary beat the Red Wings in overtime.

Toronto's players sucked playing Philly....they only had 1 day rest after beating Ottawa. We'll see what happens in game 2.

Stanlee, there are probably several such bets going on between t-v and radio stations here in Tampa and up in Montreal. It'll be fun! :-)

HABS...definition
Montreal Canadiens hockey team also known as the Habitants or Habs. Habitant means inhabitant, resident, occupant or occupier.

When the Montreal Canadiens were first formed...they were mostly French Canadians...I guess they used Habs to let the world (or the hockey world) know that they're residents of Canada.

Which is somewhat contrary to the popular opinion in Quebec these days to be its own country. Hee hee.

Thanks stanlee I didn't know that!

BLAME CANADA!
The stinking satellite feed went down, and our segment never happened. Crap!

Yikes! The feed went out on another game I watched last week.

Is this a foreshadow to next year's NHL season (player's strike)?

Tampa Bay really punished the Habs tonight....4 to 0. :o( Oh well, TB was the 2nd best overall.

Yeah, that was a great game (if you're a Lightning fan)!!!

It was a great fight if you were a Souray fan!

Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Oh lamentations...what has happened to the Av's??

What a great game! Lightning down the Habs in OT, 4-3. The Eastern Conference finals are just one win away. Woohooooooooo!
Artex
9:51:35 PM
4/27/04

Yep, that was one hell of a game...both teams played their hearts out. TB came out on top of that one. Montreal's in the doghouse....probably their last game this Thursday. :o(

Hmmm, looks like Artex and I will be trash talking yet again. Philly does owe Tampa Bay big time!
Geobeet

Yeah, Philly owes us a bunch o' cheesesteaks because we own that town! Mooohahahaha! :-)

Bump in the road
I didn't think the Maple Griefs were gonna go through the series without a win. Okay, we got that game out of our system.
Geobeet

Sweep?
Richards puts the biscuit in the basket to give the Bolts a 2-1 lead over the Habs! Woohoo!
Artex

Habs Going To Play Golf....
The Tampa Bay Lighting shuts off the lights on the Montreal Habs.

The Habs have been swept... :o(

Habs played an un-disciplined 2nd period....3 stupid minor penalties..one after each other...actually the first two were overlapped...giving the Lighting a 5 man to 3 man advantage for a minute and a half (twice). The Lighting players made the Canadiens paid for their stupid penalties.

The Flutters and Maple Griefs go back at it tonight. Let's go Flyers!

Not really, but thanks for saying so. I think.

Where the hell's Tango. I thought she'd be out of the penalty box by now.
Geobeet

I'm not exactly sure, but I think stanlee just said "free croissants for everybody!"

Leafs beat the Flyers. Series now even. Who do I want the Lightning to play? Hmmmmmmm.
Artex

Av's win and the Red Wings win too. Guess the 2nd round is going to continue for awhile.

I think Tampa Bay's going to take the Cup this year...any predictions?
stanlee

Darn JR! Leafs lose in OT! They are on vacation! Philly and The Bolts are up next.

Bolts will win the series, 4-2.

Wow! Tango comes out of the penalty box and throws another hip check my way.

Tampa's string has to run out sometime. Now is a good time. Regular season games don't make no nevermind now. The fun starts Saturday.

I have no idea who I'm going to root for now.
Tango

A true Pennsylvanian would root for the surviving Keystone State team. But then a true Pennsylvanian would never, ever root for a New Yuck team. Not nohow!
Geobeet

I guess I'll have to root for the team who has the most ex-Penguins on it that I liked.

A true Pittsburgh native (I am) wouldn't root for a Filly team even under torture!
Tango

Another typical Pittsburglar!

Woo Hoo Lemieux!!!!
A few weeks ago, Lemieux tested himself with a brief skate.

"It wasn't a rigorous skate, but he was pretty upbeat about how his hip responded to it," said agent Steve Reich, who represents Lemieux. "He feels like the surgery was a success, and all has gone well by any definition. He wishes the season were starting now."

Speaking of awesome hockey teams, how about those Flames taking out the #1-seated Red Wings? Can anyone say "on fire"?

So... you're rooting for the bolts? Good! I'd hate to have to pat you on the head again.

I'm Officially Cooler Than All of You
I will get to touch the Stanley Cup and get my picture taken with it this morning!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!
Artex

Artex, see if you can post it here....that'll be cool.

The Lighting's going to win the cup...but I'll be rooting for the Flames....last surviving Canadian team....and they're a pretty good team too.

Hope Lemieux have a full recovery...that guy's still a force out there, if/when he's healthy.

I have seen the cup, and it is good.

Pictures in a few days. :-)

How cool are you?
You might have seen it, and you might have touched it, but you have not drunk champagne from it or had your name engraved on it!
