OK, I've been lazy when it comes to the Blog lately. I mean, I haven't even got you guys your updates on Survivor or Amazing Race yet.
But today's Blog will not be lazy, and it cannot be about anything except for the Ottawa Senators and their quest for Lord Stanley's Cup!!
That's right, kids. IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!
IT'S PLAYOFF TIME!!
It's that time of year when I get butterflies in my stomach from the moment I wake up in the morning til the moment the final buzzer sounds. It's when I get my car flags out (2 new flashy red Sens Army flags this year, courtesy of Hollie!) It's when the trash-talking begins, when the passion increases ten-fold, when the Leafs disappear (so long, BLUEY!), when dreams come alive, when, for a few weeks at least, glory seems within grasp.
Alright, so in the past, the Sens haven't tasted much of that glory. Our best playoff was when we went to the Conference Finals once, and lost to New Jersey in Game 7. Other than that, we've had many first- and second-round disappointments.
And this year, it's not going to get any easier against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
But this year, I've decided to ignore the nay-sayers, and the gloom & doom, and completely plunge myself into Sens FANDEMONIUM. I'm pumped, I'm wound, I'm EXCITED. As you can probably tell from my CAPS use today. Yes, folks, I'M READY!!!!!
This year's motto is "BE RED"...And I can't wait to BE RED tonight. And I REALLY can't wait to BE RED on SATURDAY, when I WILL BE AT THE GAME!! YAY!!!!!
OK, SO NOW I'M JUST SHOUTING, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT, I'M SO WOUND UP!!!!
GO SENS GO!!

My Hot Football Players
It just dawned on me last night that I never re-capped last week's Survivor for you guys. It was too long ago for me to remember details, so if you missed it, here's all you need to know: Yau Man found the hidden Immunity Idol, then replaced it with a fake (a really bad fake) in an attempt to trick his tribemates. And Rocky got sent home. Boo hoo.
And now, onto Kenny's FNL re-cap: It was another amazing episode, of course, with the Coach accepting the job at TMU, much to the chagrin of his wife and daughter. Then there was the scene where Julie went to Matt's house to tell him that her family is moving to Austin, and Matt gathered her up in his arms and just held her, and I was sitting there with tears in my eyes, thinking, "Now that's why I love Matt Sarracen!!" However, Amy (that's the coach's wife's name...a whole year of watching the show, and I finally found out her name!!) - she's pretty determined that her and Julie aren't going anywhere. The Coach isn't really happy with her decision, so it'll be interesting to see if he changes his mind about TMU and decides to stay in Dillon with them.
Landry was in a quandry over the whole situation of Tyra's attempted rape. She swore him to secrecy, but he was so burdened by it that he finally told Matt. Of course, Matt insisted that he tell somebody, so Landry went to Mrs. Taylor. She took Tyra to the police, and after filing her report, Tyra ran into Landry who was waiting outside for her, and she tore a strip off of him for betraying her. Honest to God, I could have cried for the poor guy. I think I'm starting to fall in love with him, too. Tyra did apologize to him at the Roast, but Landry was still upset with her, and even more dejected that she showed up with her ex, Tim Riggins.
Speaking of Riggins - the neighbour lady broke it off with him, but I hope that Bo still gets some airtime, 'cause I don't think I've ever seen a cuter child actor than him!
Oh, and Street is now the new Assistant Coach of the Panthers, and I think one of my favourite scenes last night was when Coach Taylor and Street ganged up on Sarracen telling him he had to play better, work harder, eat & sleep football, and poor Matt just stood there, so bewildered, with this, "What the F$#@?!" look on his face, it was priceless. Street also got into more trouble with Lyla, after she caught him kissing the tattoo girl. She chucked her engagement ring back at him - so I think it's safe to say the wedding is off.
So now the Dillon Panthers are going to State, and next week is the season finale. I can't believe the season is already over; I don't know what I'm going to do on Wednesday nights without my hot football players. I might have to mourn for a while or something. I really can't wait to see how everything goes down in the big finale...Judging from previews, the Coach decides to stay in Dillon, and Amy finds out she's expecting. Hmmm...And I wonder who will win State??
Should be a good one!
