Stanlye Cup Finals - Game1 - Here We Go

So, tonight's the night. Game1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Unbelievable that the league decided to make such a blatantly wrong decision in their scheduling, but it doesn't matter (I hope!!) as tonight they'll get it underway.

I really hope that the 9day layoff the Ottawa Senators had isn't going to play a factor in the series. Momentum is SO huge and I hope that the layoff didn't get to the boys too much. That coupled with the insane amount of media attention they've been getting could play some serious games with your mind I'm sure.

Ohhh well, I've still got faith! They're gonna come out strong tonight and take it to Anaheim... A split on the road is all we can ask for. Anything more then that is, well, fan-fucking-tastic!!

As for poker, I still haven't made a deposit online OR played in any live games... Crazy I know!

I've been playing some FreeRolls online over the past few days and I was having alot of fun. I was playing 5card draw and 7card stud. Both games that I'd never really played before with any real interest. But, I was having a really good time!

I don't know if it's been the time away or the different games but I actually had a HUGE interest in the games AND I WASN'T PLAYING FOR ANY MONEY!!!

I've never, and I mean NEVER, been able to play serious poker in the past with no money on the line. But I was just really enjoying learning the new games.

So, for now I think I'll keep at that. In all reality I don't really have the money right now to make a deposit online and I'm in the midst of working towards getting my finances back in order. Withdrawing from my BankRoll definitely helped but I need to keep at it for a little while longer before I can feel OK about playing again.

So, until then...

GO SENS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playoff Hockey!!!

So, it's been close to a month since my last post and I was thinking about that last night. In all honesty, I haven't posted in awhile cause I haven't been playing ANY poker. It's been about 3weeks since I played online and about the same since playing live.

I had once again been toying with the idea of taking a break but I never really settled on the idea. It just sort of happened. I haven't really had the drive to play lately for some reason. I was on another really bad downswing when I stopped and I think that that contributed to my lack of desire to play.

So, since then I've been going over alot of my old HH's reviewing my game and frequenting all the poker boards as I always do. Just over the past couple of days have I again got the itch to get back into it. However, it will be at least another week before I see any cards as I'm insanely busy with work lately and the long weekend is coming up and we'll be hitting up the cottage with friends.

So, instead of concentrating on poker for the past few weeks it's been all about the NHL Playoffs baby!!

My Ottawa Senators are on a tear this year and I'm sooo pumped! The last 3 seasons (or was it 4??) that I was living in Ottawa my father and I would always get playoff tickets for all 4 rounds. We'd frequent Marshy's before each game, usually have a little too much to drink, and have a blast. And wouldn't you know it, the year I move away seems to be the year they're making a solid fun for the the cup! Ohhhh well... Such is life. I guess I'll be getting sick for a week or more pretty soon!! *nudge nudge.. wink wink*

So, that's it. I've been sweating the games and actually working hard. Pfft... What's the world come to? Jenn's back from Europe now for good (woooo hooooo) so we've been hanging out alot too which has been kick ass!

Well folks, that's all for now. Hopefully my next post will be of joy and drunkenness celebrating Lord Stanley's Cup coming back to Ottawa!!!! Woot Woot!!!

Go Sens Go!!!!!!!!!!!!
