Stanley cup: 2008 edition

It's Stanley Cup playoff time, and it's wreaking havoc on my sleeping patterns; the games start at 3:00am UK time. My Calgary Flames managed to back into the playoffs again this year, and they're now in the middle of a best-of-7, first round series against the hated San Jose Sharks.

Last game, the Flames had the lead, and with 5 minutes remaining they seemed like they were about to put a 3-games-to-1 stranglehold on the series. Being the Flames, however, they never like to do things the easy way: they collapsed, gave up 2 goals (including one in the last 10 seconds), and lost the game. Series tied 2-2.

Being a Flames fan is never boring, that's for sure. So tonight I'll be sitting in front of the telly, into the wee hours of the morning. Go Flames go.
