Captain Blye and The Rabbi: Epsidoe 26

Good morning listeners/readers!
And what a glorious morning it is. It's Friday! The long weekend it almost upon us! It's Sailpast at the RCYC tomorrow! The Active Stick is coming to town this weekend! THE HABS WON LAST NIGHT!!!!! And as promised, a new episode of Captain Blye and Rabbi.

In this week's edition, Ethan and I pick up where we left off discussing the four teams remaining in the post-season and how they wrapped up their spots in the Conference finals. The Sharks (sorta) shed the Choking Dogs mantra. The Hawks beat down the Canucks, exposing Roberto Luongo as a very overrated netminder. The Habs of course continued their miracle run by surviving two more elimination games, culminating with another game seven win on the road (no big deal) to send whining Sidney Crosby and the (now former) Stanley Cup Champion Penguins to the golf course. And the Flyers might have made history. We also discuss the first two games of the Conference finals and previewed last night's game at the Bell Centre (read: Habs win).

Finally we lay into the Crosby-Ovechkin argument one more time. We take this piece by the National Post's Bruce Arthur and look critically on these two superstars. Yes Crosby has had the better career after five seasons but careers take much more than five seasons to unfold. Sid might be number one right now, but the debate isn't over.

Enjoy and have a great long weekend!
Go Habs Go!!!!

What's this? A double-dose of Capt Blye and the Rabbi?

Greetings listeners,
I apologize for the screwy schedule/laziness of one-half of the duo in recent weeks. For your listening enjoyment, here are episodes 24 and 25 of the finest hockey show in the interwebs. Both shows discuss the playoffs, with the first round the main topic in #24 and the second round our point of focus for #25. Episode 25 also includes  a special topic on "Terrible" Ted Lindsay and how appropriate it was for the NHLPA to rename its player of the year award after this hockey crusader.

Tonight the show resumes and I promise, it will be better than ever.

Check it out!
