I had a great dilemna tonight, though! Nine Parts of Desire and fine wine with my Book Club or 6 Parts Sweaty Men and strong Canadian beer.

Good Canadian that I am - guess what I chose!

I'm thinking your book club is sweaty eskimo women, so..."fine wine"?

I actually had some wine the other night, and it was good. First time I've been able to enjoy alcohol in a coon's age.

What's hockey?

Get the puck out of here. With a stick. Puck == little rubber dingy, not a character from Shakespeare.

I have to say that although I would have liked to see Edmonton win, they sure didn't come out playing like winners. It wasn't even as exciting a game as I thought it would be. Sure it had its moments, but I've watched much better games over the season. Carolina deserved that win. Good for them.

It's interesting, to me, to see that 2/3 of the people who posted on this thread yesterday were Canadians. I wonder what the Canadian to American ratio of TV viewers was last night. I know that the bar that we went to was filled to the rafters with Torontonians rooting for Edmonton. It's nice to see the country come together at times like this.
