There are Game 7s going on all over the place this week.  It's win-or-go-home time.  Adreneline should e pumping through my veins, but it's just not the same without my Stars in the mix.  Sitting out of the playoffs for the first time since 2002 is HARD.  But life goes on and I must find a team I want to go all the way.  What's strange is remembering that it should be Duck Season for me, but I find myself pulling for them to get the Cup this year.  Go Ducks?????  yeah, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  *blah* 

Except the Chicago/Vancouver series which ended in Chicago's favor in six games, every other game in this series is going to seven.  Tonight's game seven was between the Penguins and the Capitals.  Not a fan of either team really, I have a friend who lives in DC who is extremely excited this year because usually I'm the one rubbing my season in his face... so I picked the Caps as my team in that series.  Unfortunately the Caps lost tonight -- badly, and their season is now over. 

Tomorrow night we have Boston versus Carolina.  This is one I haven't really been keeping up with and I don't care who wins either way.  Except that I really am not a fan of Boston's colors and their jerseys make me want to vomit.  So I am picking Carolina to take this series.  Go Huricanes!

Tomorrow night is also do or die time for Detroit and Anaheim.  (Go Ducks, remember).  The Ducks' backup goaltender really impressed me this season.  Since Giggy's dad died he picked up where the slack needed to be picked up, and he found himself starting goaltender for a Stanley Cup team, in the Stanley Cup playoffs--with Giggy as HIS backup.  Way to go Hiller!!  (Oh, but Hiller, don't expect this entheusiasm from me for you next season, this is a one-shot thing)  And since I can't stand the Red Wings on ANY level, and because I think they've had the Cup quite long enough, I hope the Ducks send them home horrible losers tomorrow night.  (well except they are playing in Detroit, so I guess it would be the Ducks going home winners and the Wings going to bed losers)  Either way is fine by me as long as I don't have to watch Detroit play and win another Cup this year.  *shivers*
