The Peerless Prognosticator is ON THE AIR!!!
As faithfully as the swallows return to Capistrano, as
reliably as the sun rises in the east, as unfailingly as Mike Milbury will say
something derogatory against Alex Ovechkin, the Ovechkin-led Washington
Capitals will face the New York Rangers in Game 1 of their Metropolitan
Division Semifinals matchup at Madison Squarer Garden in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
“Uh…cuz?”
In a minute, Cheerless.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that the Caps and Rangers have
met in the post-season and the fifth time in the last six seasons…
“Cousin…a moment, if you please?”
Hold on, Fearless. In
their four meetings over the past five years the Caps won the first two
engagements, while the Blueshirts won the last two. Three of those series went a full seven
games, the Caps winning one and the Rangers a pair.
“Cousin!...”
Guys, I’m trying to work here…can’t this wait? The Caps will come into this series with… hey… HEY!!
What are you two…mmph… mmph-mmph.
“Calm down, cuz… we’re doing this for your own good.”
MMPH…HEY! GET THIS
GAG OUT OF MY MOU…
“Now cousin, just think of this as an intervention.”
“Yeah, cuz. We’re all
trying to deal with this whole ‘no playoffs thing’ in our own way.”
BUT MY READERS!
“What, all 14 of them?”
THEY’RE DEPENDING ON ME!!!
‘Someone has a rather inflated view of themselves”
MMPH!...MMPH!!
There, there cuz. You’ll
be fine in time for training camp.”
BUT….BUT…THERE’S THE DRAFT…AND FREE AGENCY….AND D-CAMP…
“There will be time enough for that, cousin.”
AND THE RANGERS!!!
DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE RANGERS!!!
“As if we could, cuz… as if we could.”
LUNDQVI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-IST!!!
