Hockey Hockey Hockey 2006

The season is just beginning or at least the real season. The Stanley Cup playoffs start tomorrow and the great quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup. While I am happy my team, the Calgary Flames are again in the playoffs I am a bit sad that the Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs are not in the playoffs. It would have been very cool for all six Canadian teams to have made it to the playoffs. Oh well on to the show.

The Flames have the best goaltending in the league and one of the best defensive systems in the league. While they do not score a lot of goals, the playoffs is a different type of game and a team with goaltending and good defense have an excellent chance to go far. The different sports analysts are picking Calgary to go far into the playoffs. I have yet to hear one say Calgary will win it all but they have a better chance than all the others with the type of game they have played during the regular season.

So all I can say is bring it on and

Go Flames Go
