Right now Don Cherry is my hero. He's the only one at CBC who doesn't think Montreal as a collective is Jesus.
He probably will eventually if Montreal ends up going to the Cup finals. He thought the exact same thing with the Canucks in 2011. He does that for every Canadian team that doesn't get eliminated in the first round. I'm not surprised.
ESPN.com is reporting that the Sharks owner has decided to keep the GM and coach. I wonder how that headline will read in Pittsburgh.
One thing that does bother me, sort of, are reports out of Pittsburgh that some of the players are complaining about the lack of a fun atmosphere. What is this, recess? Are these guys in kindergarten?

I live in Vancouver and I still remember how the atmosphere changed every round:
Round 1: Chicago: Big buzz; people said it was "our" turn to end the Hawks' dominance of the Canucks in the playoffs. A few bandwagoners.
Round 2: Nashville: bandwagon filled up a lot after Burrows scored in OT in Game 7 against the Hawks. A lot of people didn't hold their breath in the second round still.
Round 3: San Jose. Big big buzz. More bandwagoners. People who didn't give a lick about hockey whatsoever started donning hats, toques, jerseys, t-shirts.
Round 4: Games 1-2: EVERYONE IS ALL YAY. Round 3 and 4: meh...it's tied 2-2. Game 5: YES ONE MORE WIN!!! Game 6 and 7: Next stop: Boston: all bandwagoners hopped off and suddenly acted like they never cared about hockey.
As for everyone else, I'm rpetty sure the Hawks, Kings, Sharks, Preds, Blues, and other teams wanted Boston to win. I think Toews even said in an interview: "I'm cheering for Boston. I hate that Vancouver team."
If you don't already know this then I hate to be the one to break this to you, but everyone outside of Vancouver hated that team.
Lol yeah I know that. Maybe the teams that got kicked out by Boston that year wanted the Nucks to win? IDK...I never paid much attention to the East anyways.
I'm pretty sure Boston, Chicago, and LA also had their fair share of bandwagoners too.
Media are making a fuss about the handshake at the end of Bos-Mtl serie , this is what Lucic really said:
Totally. I thought for sure I was missing one, so I tried every channel I know that has ever shown a hockey game. I didn't find one, so I assumed I was off a day.

I'm not ready to watch baseball. I'll be bored until August. That's when football starts up and baseball games start to really matter. Someone should start a pro summer hockey league or something.
Or how about watch the rest of the playoffs and just watch it for the sport, not for the teams that are in it? You won't get more hockey until October (September if you're into pre-season games) and highlights can only help your love so much...right?
Is there any talk of establishing a WNHL? I would definitely watch a WNHL summer league (real hockey, not bikini hockey).
I think I remember some talk of this in the Olympics and they said it just want cost effective and there wouldn't be enough good teams to make it competitive.
