What a day to love sports!
First of all, as a Yankees fan, it was great to see how they killed the Red Sox today. All of this with many of our best players injured. We have some amazing young talent up now!
Then, of course, the main game of the night - the Stanley Cup Finals game one. Edmonton came on a lot stronger than I expected, since they had so much time to rest (and get rusty) before the first game of this series. Of course, with Carolina having a lot of time to rest, too, perhaps that changed the way things started.
Edmonton broke their 6-0 record when leading after the first in the playoffs tonight, since they completely fell apart in the third and ended up losing the game 5-4. Game one didn't end the way I wanted, but with Edmonton being so well rested, they did really well. And at least it was an exciting game!
It's funny, since a friend of mine and I were disagreeing about the finals just last night. He was saying that the finals would be the worst in ages and I was saying I thought it would be a great finals. Game one was definitely a point for my side. If the rest of the series is anything like this game, it's going to be a fabulous fight to the finish in 7 games. I still think Edmonton will come out on top, but what a series it will be!
I love the Stanley Cup Finals! Even without a team I love in them, it's a lot of fun! I hope the Oilers win, since Canada deserves to get the cup back. Only one more game on OLN and then the finals move to NBC. Yippee! I can't wait to be done with OLN for the season!
In other news, our master bathroom construction (or, rather, the demo of our current bathroom) starts tomorrow! Yippee! Two months (probably more, really) of using the other bathroom and having our clothes in the other bedroom. But, the end result will be worth it. Wish we could skip to that. The new bathroom and closet will be wonderful!
