it's playoff time

You know, I hardly watch hockey at all for pretty much all of the regular season, but come playoff time I find myself glued to the tv. Living in Ontario means that I'm supposed to worship the Leafs, of course, but being a loyal alienated Westerner, I'm going for the Sens in that series. I'm a lot more interested in the Vancouver-Calgary series, though. The Flames kind of remind me of the Jets, but I'd still prefer to see the Oilers.

It must be hard to not be a hockey fan at this time of year, especially if you only get two channels and one of them is CBC. I like how everything else just gets dumped from their schedule - including The National - and maybe gets squeezed in between periods. Don Cherry gets more air time these days than Peter Mansbridge.

Speaking of CBC, who do you think is The Greatest Canadian? (You can post comments by clicking on the Squawkbox link right below this - it took me forever to get that working, so please use it!)
