I can be open-minded and empathetic – while I am rooting for Vancouver, I’m not blind that for Chuck and Cassy and some of our other loyal readers, this is a, uh, how shall a put this, more passionate endeavor.

For me, I love the Stanley Cup Play-Offs right now because we are getting to see a rare sight. Two pretty even matched teams which makes it come down to a coaching mastermind of match-ups. Which is why home-ice advantage is key. As a hockey-lover, this is truly one of the most beautiful Stanley Cup play-offs because I’m not emotionally involved so I can actually watch from a more technical view-point; to appreciate the amazing coaching on each side and how they match each line and each skilled player, shift for shift when it REALLY matters.

So Boston fans, I wish the last game was just a bad dream and I hope Monday goes much better.
