It's PLAYOFF Time!

WOOOOOOOOOO!

A revised, better version of the pre-playoff hype that the NHL sent to me via e-mail:

"You've chosen quadruple-OT over sleep (YES!).
You believe in the power of the hot goalie (YES!).
You can grow a better Playoff Beard than Joe Thornton (umm… no).
You feel a little chill every time Ovechkin's stick touches the puck.
You need a 17-minute break between the periods as much as the players (YES!).
You watch pregame, postgame and in-game interviews and it's still not enough (YES!).
You pray the hockey gods will finally smile upon Jarome Iginla the Vancouver Canucks and let him them win the Cup.
You're slightly disappointed when every series doesn't go to seven games (YES!).
You count your blessings that you get to live during the Brodeur Era.
The only thing that can improve your bagel and coffee is watching Kane and Toews during the morning skate.
You dream in loops of skate, puck and whistle.  You wonder just how do teams gameplan for Roberto Luongo (YES!).
You live in constant awe of Zdeno Chara (who?).
You can’t wait to tell your grandchildren stories that begin with “I remember the time Sidney Crosby…”.
To prepare for the Canadiens playoff run, you learned to say “25 Cups in 100 years” in French.
You think the Red Wings might be more dangerous with a target on their back.
And in-between playoff games, the only thing you want is more hockey (YES!)."
