No Sweep for the Sens

As noted in a previous post, I have the good fortune of having a TV in the bunkhouse. Of course satellite is not available so I'm going with a total of two channels, APTN (Aboriginal People's Television Network) and the good ol' CBC for the summer.

This means I will be watching the entire series of North of 60 as well as enjoying some superb films with Winonna Ryder and Steven Segal (both of them being part aboriginal).

More importantly it means I am able to keep track of my favourite team's road to the Stanley Cup. I've been a Sens fan and thus disappointed since around 1999 because my Dad cheered for the Leafs. That worked out well...

I was a bit nervous at the start of this series because of what happened last year! But after a bit of role reversal, some solid shut-down D and the curse that is known as the President's Trophy the Sens went up 3-0 and they were playing last night for the sweep. That would be quite the feat and provide me with some bragging rights since my supervisor is a Sabres fanatic. Well, the Sabres didn't quite follow the script with that 9 second tally, but they looked shaky in the 2nd half of the second and although they ended up winning the game They had some of their defensive liabilities such as Vanek, Afinaganov and Kalinan playing 4th line minutes. Hopefully that means they will be a bit worn down on Friday and the Sens will be able to finish this one up and give Emery all the time he needs to visit the far superior nightlife of New York City before the Finals.
