Tomorrow will be one week for me. Won't be as good, but it's a start.

The ending of tonight's Carolina-Jersey game. If you haven't seen it, go watch it right now. Whoa.
Hopefully they can keep from being swept, at the very least.I knew all along that the Red Wings would win this series, but man.... I cannot believe how the Blue Jackets have just plain not shown up.
Anyone hear this story about Montreal price-gouging their playoff tickets? Apparently since there's a limit to how much they can charge, they're selling their tickets with a jersey and... a brick.
Montreal Gazette article
When the Canadiens take the ice Monday night after Milan "Lurch" Lucic & Co. turned them into roadkill in Boston, their loyal fans will make the Bell Centre shiver and quiver like a bowl of jelly.
They will shriek and holler, chant "Go Habs Go" and mug at themselves on the big screen (although their images won't be shown unless they are wearing official Canadiens merchandise).
And they will have paid through the nose to do so. After hearing a rumour that the Canadiens were making extravagant demands on fans who wanted to purchase some of the available playoff tickets, the rumour was confirmed last week in an email from frustrated fan Marc Baran:
"I purchased playoff tickets on the Montreal Canadiens website Saturday for Series 1, Game 3. After waiting forever in the virtual waiting room, I went through the process and ordered my two tickets.
"The final step was to pick the mailing process. It would only give me the super fan option. So I pressed it and to my amazement, I was being charged $385.40 for two tickets in Section 408 Row B Seats 15-16 (tickets valued at $41 each) and a jersey and brick, and express delivery (valued at 285.90) plus a $17.50 web convience fee.
"I was shocked, I only wanted the hockey tickets! I emailed them back right away and explained the situation. I also called and the lady on the phone said, sorry final sale.
"A half-hour later a gentleman called saying he received my email and that I made a mistake on the process of the tickets. I apologized and said I only want the tickets and not the jersey and brick.
"He said he would cancel the order, but the tickets only came with the jersey and the brick. It was all or nothing. With a child and wife I would prefer to stay at home and watch the hockey game than to pay $385.40 to sit in Section 408 Row B Seats 15-16. Go Habs Go!"

Pissing people off AND giving them a heavy blunt object seems like a bad idea to me.
Who the hell wants to buy a goddamn brick?
Is it to throw during the game?

Oh, I'm sure they'll find something to do with those bricks.
