Holy Week Opens With Hockey Jesus Throwing Down

Our husband Sidney Crosby took exception to Keith Ballard's clean, head over heels, hit on Malkin and decided to throw down.



and why not? I understand where Crosby's coming from; simple hockey logic really, you go after one of our best players, we're coming after you! It may have been clean but damn what a hit!

Love how its Crosby, the other star player on this team, that threw down but hey he's the Captain, and that's what you gotta do, non? Too bad it wasn't much of a fight though. Save it for the playoffs darling, save it for the playoffs!

Speaking of the playoffs, today not only marks the beginning of Holy Week for Christians everywhere but its also Holy Week for the NHL too (sacrilegious? meh not really!), this week is the last week before the playoffs begin and those few teams who are fighting for 8th place are...well, fighting to get into the playoffs.

Its so hard to make predictions now, because we've all seen some upsets in our time (injuries, flukey goals, drama in the dressing room), my only really, really, broad prediction is that it may be, probably, will be a Western Conference team that takes it but hey you never know, a team like Florida could fool us all, and win this bitch!

Here's to the playoffs guys, its better than Christmas!
