The first thing I did early this morning was check to see if there were two moons in the sky or if some great cosmic occurrence had happened overnight. How else could I explain the unthinkable thoughts that had crossed my mind? Dare I even speak it let alone admit it in print that this card carrying long time Montreal Canadiens fan was about to go over to the dark side and cheer for the (gulp!) Philadelphia Flyers?
Truthfully after the Habs lost to the Beantown Blowhards my plan was to not follow any other team in the Playoffs. With Montreal out of the running it didn't really matter to me who wins the Stanley Cup. But then something changed that thinking via the classless, obnoxious and crude comments from the Beantown fans, media and goaltender Tim Thomas slagging Subban.
There is no way in hell that I want the B's to get to the conference finals and who better than the Philthy Flyers to beat the crap out of them. And after reading Mike Boone's column in the Gazette it looks like I'm not alone in my thinking.
So all my positive energy will be focused on the Orange and Black Horde from hell.
It's a win win scenario for this fan because I don't like either team (hate the B's more) and one of them is going down in the second round. Hurray, hurray, hurray!
Playoffs without the Habs is not good but it's not all bad either. They played their hearts out and we fans can be proud of them.
Heard there were two new B's bobbleheads coming out in May. Both are mechanical as well as having bobbing heads. One is a new version of Tim Thomas which moves back and forth and then leans forward in the goaltender's stance while fireworks blow out his butt with the playing of the Stars and Stripes Forever.
The other is an Andrew Ference figure that has an elbow that raises for hitting players in the head as the other glove hand salutes the fans with the finger. These are both must haves for any hockey fan!
GO, FLYERS GO! GO,FLYERS GO! GO, FLYERS GO!
AND MAY THE HABS HOCKEY GODS FORGIVE ME!
