It's hard for me to get worked up about the playoffs this year. Being frigging exhausted following the arrival of the Weasel Meme probably doesn't help.
The Wings' play this season doesn't particularly help either. Goals and shots against have been terrible. Two blowout losses against Central Division opponents (giving up 8 goals) and Ozzy tanking this year are sickening. It appears that we miss Todd McLellan (former defensive coach, now head coach for the Sharks) more than I ever thought we would.
This AP article about how the Sharks have their sights set on the Wings as their main target just has me wondering if the Wings have a chance to even get to the Conference Finals to (potentially) meet them. Also, the Sharks have a history of playoff under-performance themselves that they need to address. At least the new baby has not dulled my pessimism. You want cheerful thoughts? Well, we resigned Zetterberg and Franzen. Lilja's brain may stop bleeding any day now.
Annual humiliation playoff picks coming soon.

First: Answer my email!
Second: It is my duty as the optimist in our Hockey partnership to point out that you said much the same thing last year (replace Hacek for Osgood, and replace San Jose... wait, no it was still the Sharks that were supposed to kick our ass last year). And look how that turned out. I'll have my picks later tonight.
First: I have replied.
我承認這電子郵件的收據。 我認為人明顯地丟失了他的頭。 藏品是否是同一個創造性的工作同是一样口頭禪猴子？ 我偏離主題。 好运。
Second: I am consistent. Go me. Anyway, the Sharks will not kick our ass(es), the BJs will take care of that. Mason + Nash + Stuart = SWEEP.
First, I just noticed almost the entire original six are in this year. Stupid Toronto.

You always feel so good about picking when you start and then when you see the ridiculous place the bracket ends up, you say "Wait, I didn't pick this, did I?" So, as ever, not overwhelmed with confidence in my picks.

West R1:

Vancouver
Chicago
East R2:
