Just win, baby.

Yup. Always a cluster **** when playoffs arrive.

For one game … unless we make the Finals again, in which case the cluster will re-emerge and linger.

What. The. Hell. Is. This?

This is a much better song. Heard in on the NHL channel.

Funny, except … it’s too true to be funny.

OK, this is hilarious and representative of the hockey establishment:

Listening to the Hot Stove program on the NHL network on satellite radio in the car this morning, the host was talking to Aaron Ward about this series. Ward predicted the Canes in 7 and the host kept pushing Ward to say the reason the series would go the distance is because the Canes don't score very many goals. Ummm....dude...only the Avalanche scored more goals this season than the Hurricanes did. Also, only three teams gave up less goals than the Hurricanes did. This is your profession! Can't you at least do some basic research before popping off like this? Lord!

Honestly, that crap is why I quit listening to anything on the NHL Network. Those guys are mostly just clueless. I don’t need my own opinions validated, but I do need to at least suspect that we’re watching the same games.
