Here we go again....

This series is starting to drive me up the wall. Why the hell did the Caps have to draw the Pens?

I do not like Crosby. If you like Crosby, great.

I am not anti-Canadian because I don't like him.

Yes, I feel bad that Crosby has been handled, hounded and manufactured since he could skate.

Yes, I believe he is a very talented player.

Yes, I think he has been over-hyped and he has been shoved down my throat here.

No, I am NOT a bandwagon Caps fan.

No, I don't just watch the Caps because I like Ovie. I like a lot of the other players on that team.

No, I do not like Ovie because I hate Crosby. I like Ovie because he's Ovie. And I dislike Crosby because he irks me.

Crosby and Ovie are mentioned too much in the same sentence. One has zippo to do with the other despite what the media says.

YES, I am getting tired of this Sid vs Ovie crap.

YES, I hate the media. More than before.

No, I don't appreciate intolorant and narrow minded people. Sports shouldn't be political or nationalistic and no matter how much you hate a team, you shouldn't go off and be a troll towards other fans.

Basically, I'm getting real tired of having to justify who I cheer for and why. Leave me alone, damnit. It's a free country. YES, it's again hitting me that les boys won't be back on the ice for another FOUR months and it's making me sad and grumpy. I want MY boys back so I can cheer and whine and talk about them, while quietly routing for the Caps.

BRING BACK MY HABS! (and leave the media and the trolls in Greenland, please)

On a more serious note...Is Gillet really selling the Habs?

....Although I do wish that you would go check out my conspiracy theory. It took me a while to write it, even if it's over the top. Anyway... on a more serious note...

At what point did Gillet actually say that he was going to sell the Habs? From what I've gathered, he merely asked that his assets get looked over. Sure, he's probably looking to sell off some of the stuff - and when you're a multi gazillionaire there's a lot of stuff - but at what point did he say that it was going to be the Montreal Canadiens and not the big mess that is the Liverpool football team in England? Personally, if I was Gillet, I'd try to get out of co-owning Liverpool as soon as possible. But that's just me (and yes, I do love Liverpool).

I'm not saying that he isn't going to sell the Canadiens in full or in part. But after I just made a spiel about how financially stable this franchise appears to be, I would be very surprised if Gillet completely sells off his share of the team and the Bell Center. Especially now when he's most likely going to have to sell it for a lot less than it's projected worth in October (because the economy tanked. Not the team). Unless there's something else going on that we don't know about behind the scenes.

Either way, I think it's a little premature for the media to start screaming that the team is about to be sold. The last thing we really need to have going around is rumors that the team is for sale. But that's the media for you, people.....For now, I'm just going to sit back, plot my way into bribing Bettman into giving me the team, and wonder if it's possible to brainwash Kovalchuk into playing for the Habs tonight...
