Good morning from beautiful California, where currently, I'm still in bed, posting from the past, into the FUTURE! typing at a blistering 88 wpm into this handy dandy future machine. Welcome to my first FTB, and now that we've gotten the nerdiness out of the way, let's have some links!
- TSM has the skinny on what makes Brian Burke so angry (hint - it's got nothing to do with being Irish)
- Sidney Crosby has been called many names in such a short career, and Mike Babcock is suggesting a new one already
- The honeymoon is over, and it's now Jacques Martin's time to answer for his crimes against hockey. I for one look forward to this coming Habs season
- Speaking of Jacques, the venerable Down Goes Brown has put his hockey centric Patriot Act to work once more, and produces the painstaking job interview poor Mr. Martin suffered through.
- Penguins fans love Coldplay. Take that however you'd like.
- We all have Puck Daddy to thank, as he travels to Pittsburgh, so that we don't have to. Oh, he's there because of the playoffs? OK, that makes a little more sense now...

Only two franchises have ever won a series after trailing 2-0, the Leafs (1942) and the Canadiens (1966, 1971). It just doesn’t happen.

I don’t know, I’ve always enjoyed Coldplay, since “Yellow” came out. I thought their last album was dope. Seen them three times in concert.
And that opening montage from Saturday night, with the greatest song ever, The Scientist, was just FANTASTIC. I almost cried.

The Scientist and Politik are both great tunes.
I’ve also got a soft spot for Clocks, as my brother-in-law and his wife used that song for a photo montage shown during their wedding. Very dramatic and grandiose music that worked well for the moment.
Still, I’m a Snow Patrol fan when it comes to that mold of music.

it’s more like 5 or 6 hours to montreal from TO, depending on weather, traffic, your bladder, etc…

5 to 6 hours? Really? It’s never taken me that long to get there, though I do live not far from the DVP so I miss a lot of cross-town traffic.

yeah, i’m in the west end, and most of the times i’ve driven it we’ve had multiple stops, have gotten caught in traffic, etc. i’d still say 5 hours is a safe estimate though.

Last time I went there I think it was a 6 hr drive but that’s because we took my grand-folks with us and we had to pit-stop at every rest-stop for them to use the washroom

One time I went for the Grand Prix. We left at 3 AM and were having breakfast in Montreal at 7. We might have exceeded the speed limit just a little though…

I also be diggin’ the Coldplay, and I don’t care who knows it; I am old enough to be comfortable with my own musical tastes. The lyrics are meh, but the music is very well done. Me likey. Not my favourite, but not everybody can be the Rheostatics.

Coldplay is fine. Not always my bag, but the guys definitely are great musicians. That counts for a lot.

Speaking of music I bet Chuggo is a Leafs fan, we should interview him.

no…. Jason said that he didn’t watch the game but he bet the winning goal went in blocker side…. (the SO game he lost) and he was right.
