It’s my Parting Shot for my Monday Musings…all about the N-H-L playoffs…..

With the exception of a plea to people going to games in the Blades-Moose Jaw W-H-L Eastern Conference final. Go and enjoy yourself, have a few beer or whatever your alcohol of choice is. But, don’t lose your minds and let your emotions get the best of you that you do stupid things like throw a bottle onto the ice. The one thrown from the stands after Game 2 was done and just missed hitting Warriors’ forward Matthew Savoie – there is no room for that sort of stupidity and that person should be banned for life from the premises!

Now, I will watch T-S-N SportsCentre over Sportsnet’s Sports Central every day of the week, but I do like Sportsnet’s “in 30” programs in which full games are boiled down to 23 minutes or so of highlights, in chronological order. It’s how I’m able to see what goes on with the Blue Jays and N-H-L post-season games during my busy Saskatoon hockey playoff season!

If I didn’t see it for myself, I would never have believed that Edmonton would win a game 1-0! Normally, if you can hold the Oilers to one goal in a game, you should win 99 times out of 100! I guess last night was the 100th time that bit the L-A Kings and good on former Lethbridge and Swift Current goaltender Stuart Skinner for Edmonton!

That’s as much nice as I want to say about the Oil. Watching Vancouver rally from 3-1 down and win in overtime last night in Nashville – scoring twice in the final two minutes with their own net empty for an extra attacker to force O-T – well, I’m all-in on the Canucks being the Canadian “team of destiny” this year!

As for my Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs, changes should be coming because soiling the sheets, again, isn’t acceptable to those respective fan bases! And I mean significant changes – not just head coaches, bottom six forwards and third pairing defencemen!!

That’s my Parting Shot. I’m Les Lazaruk…and it turned out nice again!…..
