Conspiracy? Hell Yes!!

I think we know what's going on here. Bettman kept the owners in line by assuring them that the Cup would return to Canada. So, you know what that means. Bye-bye Detroit--and all the other US teams. I honestly believe (now) the Western Conference Finals will be Edmonton-Calgary. which means the Eastern Conference Finals will be Ottawa/Montreal- ??? . I hate this. I f'n hate it! The ideal scenario for me would have been a Detroit-Colorado match, for the very simple reason of economics--Colorado is the cheapest place for me to get to, plus I have a free place to stay overnight (my cousin's house). More than anything, I wanted to see Stevie Y. play one last time. But since the only way to do that is to manage a trip to Detroit this coming Saturday... :::grieves::: I can't do it--I just don't have the money, plain and simple. I could *probably* manage a ticket but there is just no way I can scrounge a way to travel there. I'd have to fly to even *think* about making it on time and the plane tix are just too damn high when it's such short notice. Not to mention actually *getting* to an airport. I really hope next time around I choose a family that doesn't live in the middle of fucking nowhere. As long as they live some place that has an airport (and a hockey team), I'll be happy. Well, the morning rant is over, I'm off to lick my wounds and sulk.
