It is 8:30 in the morning and I already dread being at work, like I do every day though, so it is no different from yesterday. I will watch the clock all day, counting down until I can leave to watch the game tonight. Let’s go ahead and call this game a warning to all those who will come after.

I want to see San Jose beat the Predators because I think that would be an awesome series. If Anaheim came out of that with a win, you could sign them up for the finals, because they would be hyped up after beating a team as good as San Jose. I would like to see Nashville win because I would love to stomp Paul Kariya on the way to the title. I also think it would be cool to see Peter Forsberg in town a few times and Pahlsson going at it with his fellow countryman.

Apparently Francois Beauchemin had a decent slice added to his chin that required a lot of stiches. Unless he is going to gear up in one of those motorcyle-like jaw shields, I would think he sits tonights game out. Maybe Aaron Rome make his playoff debut or Ric Jackman can be healthy enough to play 10 minutes. Then again, Beauchemin is pretty tough. I would hate to see someone touch his chin with a face wash and then get their ass handed to them from the rest of the team.

I leave you with a skit from Steve Carol about being a dedicated goalie, my friend sent it to me this morning. Everyone should work in IT, it really is lax job, haha.
