I had the opportunity to watch the most anticipated hockey game of the week, Dallas Stars visiting the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night. What made it particularly important is the fact that only 5 games remain in the regular season and both teams are sitting at 4th and 5th place with only 1 pt differential.
So if the playoffs started today, Dallas would face Vancouver in the first round. That would be a major problem for me!! Because I'm so loyal to my Stars, you will find a Stars bumper sticker on the back of my car. And because hockey is religion in this country, I would be the object of cynicism everytime I drive... it probably wouldn't be long till someone breaks into the car or spray paint it .
So for the remaiming 5 games or so.... I'm hoping Dallas would climb up to at least 3rd place surpassing the slumping Avalanche, thus avoiding the 5th place Canucks in the first round. And if they do meet in the playoffs... well let's just say I'll be taking the bus more often. There's no way I'm taking the sticker off. The sacrifices I make for my hockey team.
By the way, it was great to see Mike Modano again... =)
