Lord Stanley's Mug

Bah, well there is no joy in Mudville again this year.

In Vegas in November, I bought 3 long-bet tickets for the Stanley Cup winner:

• Toronto didn't make the playoffs.
• Ottawa was ousted in the first round.
• Montreal was my last hope. This is somewhat ironic since I have historically not supported Les Habs. No matter: they are out as well.

Drat. Keen readers will remember that I seriously kicked butt on the first trip to Vegas (picked World Series winner, picked Superbowl winner, and the hockey pick went to the Cup finals).

There is only one conclusion: back to LV !
