Predictions Revealed
Gameday Preview: Blogger Showdown
As I'm sure everyone knows by now, Caps-Habs games are particularly painful for us here in the Cheap Seats. The wind feels a little colder. Food doesn't taste as good. The Penguins logo looks twice as ugly.
So naturally the league has stepped in to make a little bit of pain even worse by scheduling a home and home series between these two teams over the course of a three day stretch. Because you know they make up the schedule thinking how to make CapsChick cry the hardest, right?
It's scientific fact, ask anyone.
Anyways, as usual I implore you to not worry - when it comes right down to it, the Caps will always hold the number one spot in my heart and that won't change just because Gary Bettman has it out for me. To prove it, I've belatedly agreed to (read: invited myself into) a friendly little wager, along with fellow Caps Goddess Shmee of Capital Addiction fame, against the lovable scamps over at Four Habs Fans.
That's right, we will be taking part in a threeway...prediction contest. Nothing illegal or dirty to see here, folks, move along.
Here is what we will be attempting to predict:
total # of goals scored by the Habs over the 2 games
total # of goals scored by the Caps over the 2 games
total # of goals scored by Ovie over the 2 games
total # of goals scored by Kovy over the 2 games
Winner of Tuesday night game
Winner of Thursday night game
pick one person from the Habs who will get into a fight
pick one person from the Caps who will get into a fight
One point for each winner, blogger with the most point wins. We all will be posting our predictions simultaneously at 2:30 pm EST and the winner gets...something. I'm not entirely sure, but the losers will probably have to write something nice about the other team.
Or, you know, paint themselves red white and blue and streak down either St. Catherine's Street or Pennsylvania Avenue during rush hour. (To which I say, careful boys...it's cold in Montreal this time of year.)
Helpful suggestions are welcome in the comments right up until the deadline - and yes, I will be taking credit for all of your ideas and sharing none of the glory. It's how I roll.
Time to take down the Bleu, Blanc et Rouge. Les Habitants. The Habs. The Canadiens.
Patrick Roy's castoffs.
...too soon?

Eyes on the Prize, Crow in the Mouth
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present an anomaly, a rarity, a creature the likes of which we've never seen before...
Someone who is not a Caps fan saying (sort of) nice things about the Caps!
(Okay, he lost a bet. But it still counts.)
Hop on over to Eyes on the Prize for the big payoff that just makes Thursday night's win that much sweeter! Feel free to comment to your hearts content - taunt, bait, mock, whatever you want. But remember, keep it clean. After all, this is all in good fun...and it could have just as easily been me on the losing end.
Also, what's that saying about throwing stones and glass houses? Or is it pots and kettles? I don't know, something along those lines. Let's just say that until we have a Stanley Cup banner hanging at the Phone Booth, we have not yet earned the right to be complete jackasses.
Just partial ones. So go nuts!
