I remember a time, living in a house full of guys, when the Hockey Playoffs ruled. We set up three TVs, two 27 inchers, and one 13 inch in the living room. The two TVs were the same brand, so the clicker worked on both. Thus, we would watch one TV with the sound on, the other two with the sound off. Pressing last channel on the clicker would toggle the games between sound on and sound off. We felt like McGyver for coming up with this idea.
Anyway, as a hockey fan, I love the playoffs for the intensity, the speed and the drive the players have. This is the time of year where forwards throw themselves on the ice to block shots. Where every moment of every game matters. Fighting is out. Skating and good goal tending is in.
And speaking of in, the Sabres have home ice advantage for the entire playoffs. We'll be at game one. And we'll bring the camera. For a while this weekend, it seemed possible that the Sabres would start against Toronto. But the scrappy New York Islanders rode a third string goalie to the playoffs to face the high-scoring Sabres.
Hopefully, the Sabres will handle them easily. I'm ready for a long run. But wither way, I'm ready for some playoff hockey.
