Playoffs of 1812: History might be made or we'll have fun trying

In which Les Canadiens will storm the city of Washington and (attempt) to burn the Capitals down.

The war will be fought in four theatres, twice in the Verizon Center and twice at the Bell Center. Depending on wins and losses there may be more. The citizenry, however, will be entertained regardless of the outcome for Captain Alexander Ovechkin always enjoys a good swing in Montreal, and Montreal keeper Carey Price (the sole known Native representative of this version's campaign as far as we know) absolutely adores fighting him. He currently holds the record of this season's campaign at 2-1-1 which is steller considering their arsenal and relentless assault compared to our own. And there will be no shootout to save them this time. Of course his participation depends on the actions of Brigadier Martin, who is known to be just that much of an asshole to not set out his noble big-game keeper on the flying eagles. The Capitals also remember one Sergei Kostitsyn, a hard nosed solider on the 3rd brigade, putting the most impossible goal on them last season in a regular campaign, however his participation also remains to be seen. HMCS Hal Gill will proudly patrol our waters should they attempt a powerplay down low and will desperately try to not score on his own net twice.

Today Les Canadiens and their fans took a day to salute Brigadier Tortorella for absolutely blowing his team's chances at taking Washington by sending out one Olli Jokinen in the shootout over Marian Gaborik. Such actions may haunt him for the rest of his days. To his credit he was later overheard as saying "I thought we had JUSSI Jokinen!"

A sense of euphoria has washed over the land cheering for both teams under the red, white and blue. It's Spring! And even though both sections lost on their way to the playoffs, springtime is a lovely time as each chase Lord Stanley. Only time will tell which side will enjoy an Era of Good Feelings. Regardless of the outcome, we will stand united with a heightened sense of national pride and solidarity.

On that note: I GOT PLAYOFF TICKETS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Wednesday April 21st. It could very well be our last game of the season but I'm off the wall excited to see the Habs play the Caps regardless!

Oh hey, apparently the number of point differential between the Habs and the Caps is 33. C'mon Patrick, you gotta break the curse one of these days!
