Aloha Bitches

When I woke up this morning, I had to double-check the standings.  I didn’t dream it.  We are back in the playoffs.

The Peloton of Suck (still waiting for RWBill to update the chart) shows a small pack clustered around the seventh thru ninth spots ahead of the rest of the suckage.  The Wings are in eighth place, barely ahead of Calgary who have played one less game than us.

Things are always a bit special these days while in a playoff position.  The air is fresher, food tastes better, and neighbourhood pets no longer hide when they see me walking down the street.

I feel so good this morning, I’ve decided to turn A2Y over to a special “guest” blogger.  I hope you enjoy, bitches.

Take it away, IwoCPO:

Aloha bitches.  Literally sitting at the entrance to the Strait of Magellan. I have no idea where that is, but the ship’s navigator tells us that’s where we are so I’m taking his word for it.  I do know this. Three days ago it was 80 and we were headed south. Now it’s 40 and MF’ing Antarctica is off the tip of South America. Who the hell knew that?

The adorable 8 pounder promises me I’ll be in San Diego just in time for G1, R1.  Whether I’ll choose to watch that or any other mid-April hockey remains to be seen of course. If the Wings are in? You San Diego boys better be ready.  I’ll be solo for the first month and looking for hospitality and warm beer.

Speaking of “seen”, I’ve seen no hockey. No Wings. No nothing.  I do know about the race for 8.  I know that I hit refresh on my computer for an hour last night when I knew the game had to have been over, then I hit it again for an hour this morning to try to catch just a glimpse of a score.  I found it and I know where we stand, how many games are left and the way west coast trip that awaits this week.  Five points out of that or we’re in trouble, is all I’m sayin’.

Hope all is well. Internet is such a pipe dream that I haven’t seen A2Y since leaving in January.  If you need to get in touch with me, talk to VooX and he’ll provide you contact info.  I have no doubt that H2H is ready and that you bitches are all excited and babbling like school girls.  If you don’t send Herm home with permanent emotional scars then you aren’t the 19 I thought you were.

Go Wings. Bitches. Home soon.

That’s right, 19, the Chief is alive and well.  As the sailors here at A2Y know, the Strait of Magellan is a handy way around the bottom of South America that avoids the very incredibly nasty waters of the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica.  Think of the Drake Passage as the nasty zone just outside of a playoff berth where no one wants to be, while the Strait of Magellan is the happy area in the playoffs full of puppies, hookers, and firetrucks.

See you soon, Raspberry.  I will man my post until you relieve me of my duties, which I am sure the 19 are looking forward to.
