Timing is everything and Florida is playing great when it really counts. Hang in there Styles....maybe the Leafs will find that extra gear too.
Seattle is another surprise! Their first game against Dallas was excellent to watch and they even won in overtime in Dallas.
Never count out the underdogs! It makes for great viewing as well.
Speaking of dogs.......I hear Snoop Dog is interested in buying the Ottawa Senators! I can picture their dressing room with a haze of smoke now!
Ryan Reynolds is another interested buyer for the team.

I used to be a much more ardent fan back in the Pat Quinn and Pat Burns eras. I'll watch round 1, but it's a bit like dating a girl who always cheats on you. I see her putting on that little black dress...I'm an idiot so I keep thinking it's for me...but she's going out with her friends again.

But as I got older, I got tired of the non-stop cheap shots and pushing after every whistle. I didn't even know they were in the finals 2 years ago until after the season was over. When all that crap went down a few years ago, I said to myself, "Self, the first time I see any team kneel, is the last time I watch the sport." Haven't watched anything in a long time. Granted, I do, sort of, watch the NFL, but that is only because a friend of mine puts out a huge spread of food. Don't know who is who in football anymore, but, I will go anywhere for a free meal.

Ditto ... Oakland Raider fan going back to the late 70s and Football Sundays were like a holiday for us with a big party opening day. Even gave the Sunday Ticket to each other back in 1990 something. Dropped it and football when the kneeling started and enjoy having our Sunday's back. They broke our trust and we moved on.

Did the Raider fans start going all evil-looking to coincide with Mel Gibson and the Road Warrior?

Hey, look at the 70s - early 80s Raiders players, I think THEY influenced Road Warrior!

Now, how on earth is American football hijacking this thread about Canada's national pastime???
