Tonight was a sad night for my brother. His beloved Sens seemed to have lost it all - Lord Stanley. I believe he is the Senator's #1 one fan. Truly heartbreaking. I am not an expert on the subject of hockey in any way shape or form, but what I noticed watching the last 5 games, was that the team had given up, and it showed. A metaphor for life?.... obviously.
So if you see my bro around in the next couple of days be kind. He feels the weight of an entire team on his back.
Why I love watching NHL playoff games:
1. They are exciting to watch
2. Getting together with friends to watch the game
3. The snacks that pop up
4. It's a subject you can pretty much talk to anyone in the city about
5. Emery
Cooking Tip of the Day: A great snack for game time or anytime is nachos. I like to cook some onions and peppers up in a little oil first, then place them on top of a single layer of nacho chips (the best are farm boy's), then add some of your favorite salsa, top with cheese (the best is extra old cheddar) and then some chopped tomatoes. Cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, for the last few minutes of cooking time, broil the nachos, that way the cheese will be nice and bubbly. Serve with sour cream and if your lucky some guacamole.

Your reasons why the playoffs are so much fun are definitely correct. It was heartbreaking to see how they lost game five 6-2. I truly believe this was not indicative of the way they played throughout the playoffs. Emery letting in 6 goals on 18 shots was not reflective of his abilities. Fate was just cruel this time out.
The ride the team had was incredible, and this city truly embraced them. Hopefully, they'll learn from this experience to take it all next year.
