Q & A from
Health Canada
Q: The Stanley Cup was recently on tour in my town, and I kissed it. Do I have to worry about being infected by listeria?
A: You are safe. The Stanley Cup has not been in contact with any Maple Leaf product in over 40 years.
in all that drama I almost forgot that les Habs fucking utterly destroyed Toronto 6-1 on saturday. yeah, welcome back to planet earth Leaf Nation. I know, that 3-2 win you eeked out over Detroit when Osgood forgot there was a game was quite the accomplishment, but let's get serious now.
to top off the slaughter of one of my most disliked teams (though I mean, perhaps I shouldn't say that, as they are kind of easy comedic fodder at this point), my favorite hab had 2 goals and an assist, I believe his first-ever 3-point night.
OH SERGEI YOU SO FINEEEEE
tomorrow the Habs will pay Philthy back for that whole second-round elimination in the playoffs, while the Rangers will hopefully not allow the Devils to do the same. though my hopes are not as high for that one, because I mean 5-0 sounds kinda ridiculous. it really hasn't ever happened that often in hockey, because like, 82 games, ya gotta lose some once in a while right? 4-0 is already the Rangers' best start since 1983. yes, as in a quarter-century. the devils don't exactly score goals in bunches though, so if we can get through like a dull 1-1 game and like lost in OT/SO and still pick up at least a point, I'll still be thrilled beyond belief.
not thrilled beyond belief: missing the rangers' following two games (against the sabres & aforementioned maple laffs) as well as the habs' fucking HOME OPENER because of work. bleh.
