Greetings kidz! 'Tis I, your old-fashioned once and future adult entertainment leader 29 kicking it old school for his debut in this here playoffs. How does this work again?
Waiting in line details - 7 PM EST start (EDT? I never know what the clock change gets you to) from famed Madison Square Garden. It's really the only old-tyme iconic hockey building left, right? That's sad. Game on CBC, TVA Sports, and MSG Network and NBCSN for you Americans. For you cord-cutters and foreigners / ex-pats, I am sure Steve can fill you in on the online options of questionable legality. Now, I have a confession. I really don't mind Paul Romanupchuck. Sure he's CotU and biased, but he's a serviceable play by play robot. It could have been way (*cough* Cold) worse. I love this mysterious factoid from Paul R's Wikipedia page - "he did not call a single 2016 NHL conference final game for unknown reasons."
Pay your cover CHarge to - Blue Seat Blogs. They've got everything you could ask for in a DIY amateur blog. Hideous layout, badly formatted photos, an insane amount of ads paying them 2 cents a month, and a wonderful mix of honesty about their own team ("Last night’s loss was the worst playoff game the Rangers have played at home in quite some time" "the defense should also be ashamed of themselves") and disdain for their opponents ("Montreal is not good and is not deep. They have top-end talent, but their depth is terrible"). Completely inaccurate, but that's what I look for in a blog.
Hot sexxxy Habs to watCH - Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché! Ché!
Speaking of Ché! you should head over to Scott in Montreal's blog and read his excellent Amazing Ché parody. Did you know Scott has a blog? Did you know Scott is some sort of guitarist of note in Montreal's bar scene? The more you know.
Skanky Habs to watCH - Not much to complain about right now. I suppose we could use some goals from PatCHes, but he's got 17 shots (leads the NHL) and is working hard, they'll come. And I think N8 seems a little lost.
Hot sexy Rags to watch - King Henrik no doubt. Without him the series is over already. And even this hetero male will admit he is HOT. And SEXY. Look at him! Yowza.
Skanky Rags to watch - All of 'em, Katie.
Not dancing due to too many vodka Red Bulls - (Y)E skated again in Montreal yesterday, some are reporting he'll be back before the series ends. As of press time, I have no lineup notes. I think I used to do this much later in the day.
Post-game adult entertainment establishment - Rick's Cabaret and Steakhouse is famous for a reason and has everything you could ask for in a P-GAEE. Huge, classy, beautiful ladies, aged to perfection steaks and listed on the NASDAQ. Wait, what? Also, very conveniently located about a block and a half from MSG. Not that I would know. You could even go before the game too, as they have a $10 prix fixe lunch. It's a steal! Again, not that I would know.
