Excuse Me Waiter; I Will Have the Chicken-a-la-Disappointment with Maybe-Next Year Salad!

Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! Well, it is official, the Leafs are not in the 2010 playoffs [drying my tears & wiping my nose]. To those who have also fallen victim to the NHL Spring Bug: “teamoutofcontention,” I send my best wishes - greener grasses await – on the golf courses that is!




For those celebrating the fine accomplishments of their teams, CONGRATULATIONS! And may the best team win!



Here are the match-ups for the 1st round of the playoffs:



Eastern Division: Washington Capitals vs. Montreal Canadians

New Jersey Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Buffalo Sabers vs. Boston Bruins

Pittsburg Penguins vs. Ottawa Senators



Western Division: San Jose Sharks vs. Colorado Avalanche

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Nashville Predators

` Vancouver Canucks vs. Los Angeles Kings

Phoenix Coyotes vs. Detroit Red Wings



As for my predictions for the playoffs, I will keep them to myself. I have the tendency to jinx things when I open my lips and verbally extent my delusional desires! But I wish each and every team a successful & healthy playoff run! To the HHN honored members in the playoffs, I would like to extend my congratulations for making it this far, and we here at HHN are rooting for you!



Until the next blog,



Cheer Loud, Cheer Long, Cheer Often!
