Just a few things that caught my eye:

• It was pastry night in Ottawa. The Sens served up turnovers to everyone -- I've always been partial to raspberry but I'll take apple or cherry if they're free. And they were. U-G-L-Y.

• Speaking of food, the Orcas served up both whine and cheese on Monday night -- the rule book is clear, boys. And there is no -- I repeat, NO -- Eastern bias in refereeing that is out to bury the hopes of the blue and green this postseason. Suck it and shut it up.

• The Habs' sag after that shortie Monday was more embarrassing than the stories on saggerworld.com. I'm not kidding -- I saw it listed in one of those 'most embarrassing sagging stories' forums right after the guy who forgot he went commando and let things down. You think he'd have felt the breeze...

• Speaking of shorties, Maxime Talbot's one-hander in the second was stunning. Just stunning.

• Dan Boyle found the net again -- the right one this time.

• Found the Devils' playbook on the internet. Just like the Flyers did. All four pages of it.

• Johan Franzen's hit will be the league's first real test of its new blindside hit rule. They fail to follow through and it'll prove the rule book is written in invisible ink on onion paper.

• The Preds have to be the Hawks' worst nightmare. They're the one team that can skate with the Windy City boys. There's not much of a margin for error there.

• You heard it here first -- Canada will go 0-3 in round one. We'll call an Official Inquiry, appoint Don Cherry to be the adjudicator and call it the Cherry Inquiry. First order of business will be to remove the cages from women's helmets and introduce fighting to that game. In fact, fighting will be instated into minor hockey all the way down to house league novice. He'd call it Neanderthal hockey but it'll be mispronounced. And Canada won't produce a Stanley Cup Champion until 2033. Sigh.

• Underrated goalies? Ilya Bryzgalov (what a first period), Craig Anderson (how many saves Sunday nigh?t), Tukka Rask (he should be wearing blue and white) and Pekka Rinne (as good as Steve Mason last year but overlooked by almost every pundit). Overrated? I'm not sure I even have to mention the names of Evgeni Nabokov and Roberto Luongo. So much for those concerns about inexperienced twine-tenders, eh?
