*Wipes the Dust off the Blog*

Faithful readers, well the few of you that are left I suppose. It's not that I'm intentionally ignoring this blog. I thought that I could figure out how to balance work and blogging but apparently...I'm lazier than I thought.
It's not just work seems to be eating my face off, but I have to tell you...this year's playoffs suck. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, even with the OH EM GEE MARQUEE MATCH UP of Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, I just can't seem to get into it this year. Maybe it's because the dramatic and up and down but mostly down season the Senators put me through has absolutely warn me out. And listen, I love hockey and the playoffs even if the Senators aren't in the post-season...but there is not a single team in Round 2 I can get behind. The Blackhawks and Canucks match up is intriguing, but unfortunately with the late starts I can't sit through the entire game without falling asleep or paying for it the next morning. And of course, my Western team, the San Jose Sharks which might as well be christened the Senators of the west had another Round 1 implosion. Suffice it to say this year doesn't have a lot going for it.
Of course this off-season isn't without some intriguing stories, namely Jim Balsillie's latest attempt to own an NHL franchise. Gary Bettman is fighting tooth and nail to not let it happen. Because Balsillie 1) actually has money and 2) actually likes hockey. At this point, Balsillie just looks desperate, but I give him props for sticking to his guns and making no bones about him wanting to move this team. Here is a ready, willing investor and he wants to make sure it's done on his terms and if Bettman isn't happy with it, he'll have to go off and hope another White Knight comes riding in.
I'm not going to rehash the arguments for whether or not there should be another NHL team in Southern Ontario. Frankly, everybody has an opinion on it and I'll keep my thoughts to myself on the matter except to say that Copps Coliseum is nowhere near NHL ready and while I think it's a gross injustice that there aren't more NHL teams in Canadian markets, the Bulldogs, Marlies, Sabres and I dare say the Coyotes don't deserve to get screwed because some billionaire has some money to spend.
