Doesn't look like anyone else is starting this thread - so I will. As is my 8-year (!@$%) tradition, I will be cheering for one of my two "postseason teams": the Habs, since Ottawa shit the bed and killed my hopes of seeing Hemmer in the playoffs. Screw you, Senators. Who are the rest of you cheering for, or are you just going to watch the world burn?
