We are days away from the first round of the #StanleyCupPlayoffs. In many ways the first round is the one that is special and different. All that breaking news ... all those updates ... all those upsets.

Today is the anniversary of my favorite first round day ... in 1982.
In those days the first round was a best of 5 round, and on April 13, 1982, there were three such games to be played to finish that first round.

Each of the three series had come down to deciding games with the three best teams in the league playing at home.
In Montreal, the Canadiens, the third best team in the regular season, faced off against the Quebec Nordiques.

In Edmonton, the Oilers, the second best team in the regular season, were confronting the LA Kings.

1. Putin (@KremlinRussia_E) and I are same age. I skate a little better than he does. Not as good as @JohnKerry though. I just don't see how he didn't see that. His peripheral vision may be impaired.

2. Any other old geezers out there like to comment? @JohnKerry? Admit it makes me want to go to Honolulu's ice rink. But not as much as the #StanleyCupplayoffs do. @NHLonNBCSports @APDiploWriter
3. See how easy propaganda is? Как тебе этот Вова? 😎
