Well, well, well! What do we have here?

So, as you (my many blog followers) will know, I predicted 4-1 for the Leafs! I would have to say that 5-2 is pretty dam close! Just add one. Deslaurier deflated as predicted, and the Leafs maintained a very consistent defense! Now I know what all of you are thinking. "But Blake was good and you said he'd be bad!". Well this is true. However I must say, I've always been a part of the camp that says prove it to me Blake. And in fairness to him he was quite good tonight. Why? Because he kept his game simple. He passed simple passes to players who were in the open. I think he summed it up best in the post game interview. He said "my career has come full circle". In other words, he needed to simplify his game. And while he's talked about doing that ALL year, he finally actually did that tonight. Although in the first period he seemed more interested in pushing and shoving. Whatever gets you into the game I guess.

So, Deslaurier! I think I may have said his bubble would burst! And sound like a tiny fart? And? It did! I swear I heard a very small farting noise when Blake passed the puck to Grabbers for that insurance goal! So now what Edmonton? Who starts next? Super Deslaurier? Benchy Garon? Or Old Man Jaded Roloson? Now you have a real mess on your hands! I think (and hind sight is 20/20 for geniuses) that the Oilers should have (and owed it to) kept with Garon through the tough times. Built up his confidence!

Anyways. I will be giving my weekend Pro-line/sports select (alberta version of pro-line) picks tomorrow! Just in time for your weekend betting pleasure!

The Leafs next game is Saturday night! In Vancouver! 7pm Eastern! I'm so dam tempted to predict the score right now but that would leave me with nothing to talk about on Saturday! Keep it real everybody!
