Yikes - the first eastern-conference NHL playoff game with Buffalo facing Ottawa was crazy. Buffalo won 7-6 in overtime. I thought Ottawa would maintain their high standard of defense, but either they were lazy or Buffalo's offense is just that good. I think Buffalo's offense is just that good. Both Ottawa and Buffalo have scored the most goals in this season's playoffs.

I'm rooting for Ottawa this post season, and Neil says I'm anti-American. He thinks I go home after work and wrap myself up in a big maple leaf. That's not true - but I do spend time admiring the Canadian mountie posters on my wall.
