Died and gone to heaven

Okay so I haven't died but I am definitely in heaven. Hockey heaven. Bollocks to the Stanley Cup, the Hamilton Bulldogs are driving towards the Calder Cup with reckless abandon. Friday night saw me at the Game 1 viewing party in downtown Hamilton and Saturday night I had the game up on the big screen at home. Monday was game three and now the boys stand up 2-1 in the series. With games tonight and tomorrow we're all hoping that it can be sealed and delivered while at home. While I couldn't make it to Hershey I have been doing what I can up here to stir the pot. I helped the Jodster make a little video on Friday to get people in the mood for the Bears games. Since the team is working over Hershey the team we figured someone should perform a little voodoo and work over Hershey the products. You can watch the festivities here. It worked quite nicely and Friday's game was a stunning success with a 4-0 victory for the Bulldogs. Saturday there was nothing done and no videos posted so Hershey won 4-2, tieing up the series. When the video was posted on Monday the Bulldogs managed to beat Hershey 5-2 and giving us the series lead at 2-1. Since hockey fans are almost as superstitious as the players themselves (although nobody can match the superstitious mania of goalies) I did a little more voodoo last night and did a little bear beating of my own.

We are all hoping with all our hearts that the boys can do it in 5 so we can watch the cup being hoisted here at home, but if not then a victory away will be okay too.

Here's a peek at what you've been missing.

If you're in the Hamilton area tonight or tomorrow you really should stop in and join the festivities. If the money is a problem then just stop on down for the free pregame tailgate parties which start at 5:30pm each day.

Whether you make it or not

GO DOGS GO!!!!
