Just watched the Sens/Penquins game, wow, what a great game, 4-3 for the waddlers

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Well the Wings are now 2-0... yeah... although I have to say the Mikka Kiprusoff is one scary goalie... I saw him dart across the crease in the splits faster that I have seen anyone else... ever... Being a old goalie myself, I cringe thinking about it...

Everyine in the Joe saw that and were look around and saying "What the F@!* was that!"...

Scott... Come on.. Game 5 is just around the corner... It's only a $89 flight on Spirit... and you get to leave from National...

lol, Kipper is the only reason why it is close! He is unbeliveable!! I to am a goalie, wel I played out al my life, then when I moved down here I switched to goal!! I used to fill in every now and then when the regular goalie could not make it, and always played goal in floor hockey!! Enough pick up hockey to keep me busy here, and goalies usually play for free!! I just did not tell my wife that I was goin gto lay down about $3000 for equipment!! Oh the couch was soo worthit though!

Series isn't over,the Flames rd record is terrible, but they had 1 of the better home records inthe league,so there may be hope yet, ya just never know!!

Sabres 3 Isles 2. Not completely surprising, but argh.

Last night one of the commentators said that Islanders management was so convinced they would not make the playoffs, they actually removed the ice at the Nassau Coliseum after the last home game. So now they are worried about the condition of the ice. Man, if your own management doesn't even believe in you, #######?!

Hey Scott, stumbled across this blog and enjoyed it so I thought I would pass it along. Lots of Caps info, obviously, but some good general hockey stuff too. And LOTS of links.

Go Flames!

Well, unless or until they meet the Islanders.

Which I doubt is going to happen again this year.

So I spent $49 and signed up to watch the NHL playoffs online!! What a dissapointment!! Not all games were available to watch online!! If the game was shown on Versus (tv) I was not able to view it online!! And the games that were available, were games that I had no interest in!! As well one coul dwatch on Yahoo (online) for free occasionally!!

There were NO games available to watch online the 1st night of the 2nd round!! Just a very poor experience. isent an email explainin gmy displeasure and asking for a refund, will wait and see what their response is!! I attempted prior to signing up to find what games were to be shown, but they weren't very helpful!!

Keep an eye out on http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/scoreboard if you see a small camera " tickets", the game is shown free online!! Just click on the camera once the game has started. Doesnt work on Firefox, have had to use IE.

NBC shows games on sat and sunday!!

Ottawa/ NJ. Want Ottawa to win, and think they can do it. Take them in 6

Vancouver/Anahiem!! Want van to win, BUT anahiem in 5

Rangers/Buffalo, take Rangers in 4!!!

San jose/Detroit, san jose in 5
