the best game you can name

Happy Hockey Day In Canada!

sunday wake up call

"The Funeral" by Band Of Horses was used during the opening montage to last night's Game 5 between the Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada ... one of the best opening I've ever seen, totally gave me goosebumps!



"The Funeral" is from Band Of Horses' debut record, Everything All the Time, released back in 2006 through Sub Pop Records.

hockey is back!

song of the moment

For those of you that have been watching the NHL playoffs, you must have seen the "History Will Be Made" commercials. Maybe I am a little bias since the subject is hockey, but I think those ads are absolutely incredible and "History Will Be Made" has become one of my favourite ad campaigns of all time! If you enjoy them as much as me, you probably also love the music they used for the commercials... well, now you can download the song below!

"History Will Be Made" [wicked-cool song]

Go Habs Go!

If you are not a hockey fan, stop reading now. I posted this at the beginning of the season in my old blog. 5 of the 6 teams on that list made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Clearly, I want Montreal to win the Cup, but I think Ottawa and Detroit (damn I HATE the Wings!!!) have the best chance. I'm still not counting out the Sharks either! So, what are your predictions? Which two teams are making it to the finals? And which team will win the 05-06 Cup?

wtf!?!? switzerland finished ahead of us in the preliminary round!

Canadian men's ice hockey team finished third in Group A in the preliminary round with a 3-2-0 record. They will play Russia at 2:30 in tomorrow's quarter-final game.

Happy Hockey Day in Canada!!!!

man, was i wrong about the sharks!

i'm in the midst of moving everything from my other blog to this new one, so this is a re-post from my other site... i posted this on october 4

East:
Philadelphia Flyers (my Stanley Cup pick... unfortunately!)
-with the acquisition of Peter Forsberg and amazing rookies of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, the Flyers are unstoppable!!

Ottawa Senators
-two words: Dany Heatley
-Ottawa is also my second pick for the Cup

Montreal Canadiens
-the speedy first line of Saku Koivu, Alex Kovalev, and Richard Zednik, great young player of Michael Ryder and the goaltending of Jose Theodore, the Canadiens are going to go far this season.

West:
San Jose Sharks
-Patrick Marleau is going to have an amazing season, and the Sharks are my pick for the Cup final

Calgary Flames
-two players: Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff are going to be the key to the Flames winnings

Vancouver Canucks
-the return of Todd Bertuzzi is going to help and the line of Anson Carter and the Sedin twins may just create some magic! the only problem is the questionable goaltending of Dan Cloutier

So, as anyone can see, I've picked 4 Canadian teams out of 6. I think this is finally going to be the season that a Canadian team has a really good chance at winning the Cup!
Also, I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for not picking the Leafs, but come on!... they are not even close compare to those teams above!!! If they want to go far this season, they need to make some more changes!
