I've added celery to the traditional playoff dip (the dip part, not the lettuce part). A bold shift, I know.

I've also designated a Flames stuff drawer in my desk over there.

It is good to be organized.

After tonight's game-one, anyone who wants to is invited to watch any of the games on my wee TV. I need a night off right now, though (up too late with quadruple OT last night, plus so much work). And now if you'll excuse me, my team and I have some wings to clip. (I will now deliver a motivational message to them out loud standing in my living room.)

Post-game - 9:42 p.m.

Or not.

Kipper still came up huge a bunch of times, and we lost our first game to them in round one in 2004 anyway.

Nevertheless, be better Sunday. Be better Sunday.
