Something's rotten in the province of Ontario.
Smells like Sens spirit.
The Pittsburgh Penguins played an awful first game of the opening round of the 2008 NHL playoffs, yet somehow managed to win 4-0 over the brittle Ottawa Senators.
Pathetic -- which pretty much describes how they have played since thromping the Detroit Red Wings in January.
A malaise has settled over the team like a dark cloud -- the Sens have played poorly since early January -- One goaltending controversy and coaching change later and still no one knows how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
The locker room is divided.
The emperor has no clothes.
Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley look lost on the ice.
Senators fans must prepare themselves for smug comments from Leafs, Flames and Habs fans who insist the Sens can't win because they don't have heart.
Well, they also are missing three pretty good players -- maybe four if you include Volchenkov -- Alfredsson, Fisher and Kelly.
Injuries are no excuse they insist.
Even the Sens biggest fan in Cornwall is starting to lose faith.
Say it ain't so Alfie.
But even if we had Alfie, Fisher and Kelly back, there's still that little matter of the malaise.
Perhaps Ottawa needs to reorganize its roster at the end of this year -- i.e. give a few players their walking papers.
Non-hockey stuff
I've started a fruit of the week club at my office -- my mangos were rebuffed by two of my co-workers.
"We like strawberries and cantaloupes!" they said.
Live and learn.
My foot is starting to heal and I'm now driving my car.
Oh yeah.
I said I'm driving my car.
Oh yeah.
My co-workers -- let's call them Habsman and low-talker -- are ga-ga in love with the television show Lost.
It's all Greek to me. When I pointed out that the premise of the show sounds like it is loosely based on Gilligan's Island (marooned on an island, crazy escape plots, "the others" -- hello! could it be any more obvious) Habsman and low-talker were definitely not amused.
They also didn't like my suggestion for a possible spin-off for Lost: Found.
Get it? Found.

"The kid from Cornwall" ... that's all I am to you, isn't it? Man.
And you need to stop mixing your metaphors. One per post is the rule. Or if it isn't, it should be the rule.
Sens suck! Habs all the way! At least the Habs know how to score a goal and win hockey games. Drive for 25!
Sens have no heart.
Smug enough?

I get it! Teehee. I have only watched one episode of that show in my life and I was naturally left completely confused. I like shows that don't require dedication. My tv and I don't spend a lot of time together, I guess.
