I live in what I guess is the equivalent of the Bronze Age of cable TV. I have MSG and Versus, but do not have Center Ice. Therefore, I am at the mercy of the network programmers to determine which playoff series I will
I can watch Game 1 of Pittsburgh v. Ottawa and Game 5. Games 2-4? Out of luck.
However, between Versus and NBC, I can watch ALL of Philly v. Washington. Great. I sort of like the Caps, and I wanted them to get in, but now that they are, I don't care as much. Can they beat Philly? I'm not sure, but I can't watch Danny Briere be a hero again.
Anyhow, it appears my first-round playoff loyalties will change wildly and hourly:
Wednesday April 9, 2008
Oooo, 2 divisional boyfriends playing in one night! Can my heart take it? Yes.
7:00 Pens for the CUP! Sid! Geno! Ryan!

IF THESE TEAMS DON'T WIN IT ALL I'M NEVER WATCHING HOCKEY AGAIN!

Sunday April 13, 2008

10:00 Go Flames! Burn those Sharks!
Monday April 14, 2008

ACK! I FORGOT TO FILE MY TAXES
7:00 Ugh, go caps...I guess, just don't let me see Jeff Carter's smug face if he scores a goal.
10:00 Again? I'll know more about the Minnesota Wild after this round than I ever dreamed was possible.
Wednesday April 16, 2008
This is getting ridiculous
7:00 Go Devils. woooooooooo.. Go Zach.
Woo, an early night
Thursday April 17, 2008
7:00 Good GOD, go Caps? I do NOT want to root for the Caps this much.
10:00 Go Flames! Wooo Jarome! I hope I care more then than I do now!
Friday April 18, 2008
7:30 I'm gonna go ahead and assume that if the Nashville/Detroit series isn't over yet, it's about to be

Sunday April 20, 2008
TBD: I hope the Rangers get Brodeur'd and this series is already over
3:00 If Detroit hasn't already won, then they're just not trying
TBD: I hope Jarome has already eaten his Soup
Monday April 21, 2008
What do you mean we're still in the 1st Round? I'm exhausted.
TBD: I'm gonna go ahead and assume the Washington/ Philly series is over, and even if its not, I'm going to pretend it is.
Tuesday April 22, 2008
The Cup Finals are Here!!....wait, seriously, still Round 1?
Woooo! I can't watch any of the last games!
All of the series are probably over by now.
Good GOD, I got tired from switching loyalties just writing this. Fortunately, the teams are diminished by 1/2 each time so I'll be less schizophrenic. My sister had to convince me not to get Center Ice just to watch the Pens games.
