I'm going to have to pull for Vancouver in the west. I wanted them to beat the Rangers in '94. All my usual teams are out.
I just read that Supercuts is sponsoring a "Grow one for the Pens" beard drive in Pitt. Don't know what Supercuts is offering as an incentive. Maybe free haircuts or beard-trims or something.
I haven't shaved in a few days now. But it's usually on day four or so that I remember why I really hate not shaving. Those annoying whiskers start poking into the corners of my mouth and I get, and I think I've said this before, the Mike Ricci beard thing going. It's not a hit with the ladies I could probably pull off a Lanny McDonald moustache, but that I'd have to start it on opening day to be ready for the playoffs.
Scott Gomez has been terribly disappointing so far this season. He can make up for his regular season with a great postseason. The Habs will need every bit of scoring that they can get.
The Bruins will be playing with a lot of pressure. If the Habs ever get a series lead ... I could see the Bruins just fading into the night. At least, I hope so.
