I think one of our graduation requirements was to not show any affinity for Harvard. :-) However, I did enjoy roaming around Harvard Square with friends.CRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-62544051621489192582010-05-21T06:20:42.709-05:002010-05-21T06:20:42.709-05:00College in Cambridge, huh?

I loathe the Rangers and Islanders. (I rooted for the Soviets when they played the NY teams in the 1970s.)<br /><br />I went to college in Cambridge and saw a Bruins game at the Boston Garden, and I watched a few games when I moved to Cape Cod. However, I never took to the Bruins wholeheartedly.<br /><br />The other NHL team I'll root for is the Sharks since I was in N. California when they came into existence. That's also how I came to despise the Red Wings. <br /><br />Now that I'm in Iowa--and without cable, my only exposure to the NHL playoffs is through YouTube. It's still exciting.CRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-38086968331014031812010-05-20T07:20:12.662-05:002010-05-20T07:20:12.662-05:00Rob F...

I'm really hoping Montreal can turn things around and that Halak returns to his Superhuman form. The only team I detest more than Philly is the Rangers and I still taste bile when I so much as think of the Bruins blowing TWO 3-0 leads.<br /><br />A few things about the Sharks/Hawks series so far: <br /><br />1) Niemi is stealing shots off of the Sharks' sticks and Nabby isn't. The Sharks succeed when Nabby steals a game or two for them. As good as he can be, when he is off, even a little bit, he lets in a soft goal or two and the team starts trying to compensate for it. No es bueno.<br /><br />2) Look at what's happening in front of each net: The Hawks are clearing the front of the net so Niemi can see shots and, on the rare occasion he allows a rebound, their d-men are their to clear it. At the other end of the ice, the Hawks forwards are all up in Nabby's grill and the Sharks are not doing a good job of keeping the front of the net clear. Still...Chicago is scoring some goals that Nabby could/should be making the save on.<br /><br />2) Todd McClellan really needed to call a time out after Chicago's 2nd goal last night. I really thought he would, just to calm the Sharks down. They remained disorganized for several more minutes until Marleau got that goal.<br /><br />3) The Sharks MUST slow the game down. They just can't sustain a run-and-gun kind of game.<br /><br />4) I am impressed with the Blackhawks TCB attitude. They really did learn their lesson from last year. They're playing smart, effective hockey.<br /><br />What can I say? Even though the Bruins broke my heart badly this time, I still love Stanley Cup Playoff hockey!vicsterhttp://www.vicster.net/photographynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-24735245413423929232010-05-19T09:45:57.028-05:002010-05-19T09:45:57.028-05:00(...calm blue ocean....calm blue ocean...calm blue...(...calm blue ocean....calm blue ocean...calm blue ocean...) <br /><br />Although I am pulling for a 'Hawks/Habs Final, it will be easier on my US/Canadian halfbreed ass if the Flyers win. There are few teams I loathe nearly as much as the Broad Street Bullies. <br /><br />This is quite a run. Come on, Blackhawks - keep the pedal on the floor!Rileysdtrnoreply@blogger.com
