I feel the need...
I'm a when in Rome kinda a guy when I'm on the road for work/play. Usually try to hit up a microbrew or whatever is local on tap.
At home, for convenience sake, partial to the Heineken Beertender unless we're expecting guests and stock up on a variety of options to be a good host.
At the JLA, its $9.75 Molson all the time. The Joe is an old barn with not much in the way of variety -- patiently waiting for the new arena, gotta keep the same horn though!
Might just have to get some Asahi though, just to steal Yummy's mojo.

Wow...
The Bruins are insanely bipolar this year. When they are on, they are insane. When they're off, they are a mess...
Great series by Toronto. They played us extremely well...

I didn't give the B's much of a chance to take this series after games 5 and 6. They had what it takes to win those games but didn't feel like doing it until the game was almost over and at that point it essentially was. After what happened in 2010 vs the Flyers and seeing them go from 3-1 lead in the series to letting Toronto back in.... I thought Claude Juliens legacy in Boston would be one championship and numerous historical choke jobs.
I still think the B's have plenty of potential to choke though once they got past the first 3 weeks of the season they didn't really do anything inspiring.
Not taking anything from the Leafs though, they gave the B's everything they could handle for the last 6 games of the series and in 3 of them, more than they could handle. They were playing a team who prides themselves on their physicality and stood in their face and punched them square in the mouth, had them on the ropes and almost knocked them out.
Hopefully the Leafs had fun with this whole "playoffs" thing and want to come back and do it again next year. The experience of fighting back from 3-1 to force a game 7, appearing to have that game safely won and then have it all taken away from them will only make them hungrier in the future.

As long as Toronto doesn't blow up the team, this is the type of stuff that solidifies a team.

Anyhow, sorry about the Leafs. When Kadri scored, I was positive this was over...I'm speechless at how Toronto gave up those 2 goals with under 2 minutes left. Wow.
Live and learn though. The Leafs are young...and hopefully, they can build from this.
Senior Moderator
And WTF was THAT goose-egg by the Caps...?
Wow what a come back by the B's. I still can't believe they pulled that one out. Either way they should have finished the series off in game 5 or 6. Hope they can finish better against the Rangers.
all work and no play
wow, just wow
LFG RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at my house.
So sick about hearing what a great year it was, the effort blah, blah.... All that is overshadowed IMO by that collapse. I want heads to roll. That was an epic failure.
The only positive to come out of this is that I don't have to deal with Build a Bear and TechnoKing.

Dear Hockey Gods,
If there is justice in this world (and I hope there is).
I hope they strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to "harm" and destroy my brothers.
Sincerely,
