They will play the Panthers

When I said the Islanders looked like they would take the second wild card slot, I guess I didn't count on the Panthers losing their final game and dropping below the Islanders to the second wild card slot

This means the Bruins will take on the Panthers this Monday in the first game of their best-of-seven series in round one of the playoffs.

The format is as follows: They will play the first two games in Boston. Games three and four will be in Fort Lauderdale. If necessary, game five will be in Boston, game six will be in Fort Lauderdale and game seven will be in Boston.

The playoff schedule has not been finalized yet so dates (other than the first game) and times are not available.

The Red Sox are not playing well but they aren't the Yankees:

The Twins beat the crap out of the Yankees yesterday. It got so bad that the Yankees had to put their short-stop on the mound to pitch.

The Angels are in Boston tonight to start a four-game series against the Red Sox. I'm slightly optimistic and hopeful that the Red Sox might win all four games. It's a stretch since the Angels are in first place in the ALWest but you know me - Mr. Always-Look-On-The-Bright-Side-Of-Life

• If I remember correctly, whenever we played dodgeball in gym, the gym teacher always left to gym. I'm pretty sure he went out for a smoke.
