Someone the other day asked me if I cared about the playoffs given that the Kings were out. Normally, I really don't care. Watching Dallas and New Jersey that one season was REALLY BAD (in fact, it was so boring that I think I was traumatized). However, this year (thus far) I had a reason to care about just about every series:

Montreal/Boston: Screw the Habs and Price. I don't think the Habs deserve yet another stud in goal. That's why I'm going for Boston.

Ottawa/Pitts: I've always been a Heatly fan, but I'm anxious to see what Malkin and Crosby can do deep in the playoffs.

Philly/Wash: My old roomate was a Philly fan, so I couldn't hate them any more. Ovechkin is reason enough to be excited.

New York/New Jersey: Always will be an Avery fan and it's fun to hear the announcers talk about how "great" and "valuable" Avery is, now that he's in New York and how he was nothing but a Pest and a Racist while in L.A.

Dallas/Anaheim: It's obvious and I don't want to jinx anything by commenting.

San Jose/Calgary: It would be "interesting" if the Sharks won the Cup...particularly for Kings fans.

Colorado/Minn: How cool is it to see the geezer Avalanche reunited? I always hated the Aves but I find myself supporting them now that they are all on Medicare

Detroit/Nashville: I like TooToo and I feel for the Preds, but I do want Detriot to win. It would be great to see another Detroit/Colorado series (especially with a bunch of the old cast back from Colorado and McCatry back in Detroit).

All around, very entertaining playoffs this season.
