Richard, I have no doubt that you will come up with some kind of idea for that.....

They say it's not over until the fat lady sings . . . . or the octopus hits the ice.

Out there in Phoenix, the octopus hit with 3:14 left in the game - after the Wings scored their 6th goal.

So, can the Habs take out the Caps tonight? What do ya think? I'm anxious to see who we're playing in the 2nd round.....

I'm looking forward to another game 7 - one in which I have no vested interest.

I did think Washington had the best chance to eliminate Pittsburgh - now I'm not so sure. I'm a fan of the Original Six, and it's been a looooong time for Montreal.

Oh, last year when I heard we were playing Washington, I thought it was over. I thought they'd take us out. But Washington doesn't seem to be as good in the playoffs as they are in the regular season. Maybe it's the coaching?

This year has been exciting so far for me in the playoffs, because I actually have Versus this year and can watch more games. Of course, I also have a 2 year old, so I don't actually get to watch them....but I do try to check in and check scores every once in a while.....

Phoenix, an almost bankrupt team, took them to a game 7.

I'd save the octopi for later in the playoffs.

Phoenix, a team owned by the NHL, took them to a game 7.

I'm surprised the Wings have made it this far. They were terrible the first half of the season. We figured they wouldn't even make the playoffs. But after the Olympic break, they had the best record in the NHL.

WOW!! Now that was a Game 7!!

Wouldn't it be neat if the conference finals, both of them, were composed of Original Six teams?

From the Boston Globe -

Bobby Orr statue to be unveiled May 10
Posted by Matt Pepin, Boston.com Staff April 28

A statue commemorating Bobby Orr's famous goal that clinched the 1970 Stanley Cup for the Bruins will be unveiled Monday, May 10, at 11 a.m. outside TD Garden.

The ceremony will take place on the 40th anniversary of the Bruins' win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 4 of the 1970 Stanley Cup finals. The statue depicts Orr flying through the air immediately after scoring the goal. It was sculpted by Harry Weber.

The statue will be permanently installed in front of TD Garden at the mouth of the west walkway facing Causeway Street.
