Hi Talon. Hockey good. Flyers bad. Bryan Berard? I'm very happy that he is playing. He had so much potential, that it was a true tragedy when he got hit. I was watching that game live when it happened, and I still remember shuddering at the sight of all the blood under his face on the ice. I understand his desire to not only play hockey, but to be near his family as well. However, he has left a sour taste on Leaf fans' mouths. I can't help but feel he shafted the Leafs. After all they did for him to help him recover financially, emotionally, he goes and just leaves. At the very least, I think he owed it to the team to ask for a trade to New York before he did what he did.
I truly despise the Flyers. I don't like laughing at other teams (except in jest), but I sure had a smile on my face the last couple of seasons when Toronto and then Buffalo took that highly over-rated team out in the first round of the playoffs. Bobby Clarke is an a$$hole, and I hope he ruins the team so they can fire him soon. Somehow, I doubt it's going to happen, but you can always hope.
I think the Panthers are going to surprise a few teams this year. You can't lose forever with a superstar like Pavel Bure on your team. My hope? The Leafs meet the Panthers is the Eastern Final. It won't happen, but that is what I'd like to see. it doesn't matter either, because I think the Red Wings will take it this year.
That's it for now.
