I am over it. I really am. In truth, I was over it before Scott Walker’s shot even hit the back of the net. Am I happy the Bruins are out, squandering their best chance in years to win a Stanley Cup? Not at all, but I’m not over here smashing stuff or anything. Everyone I have encountered has been coming up and saying, Man, I thought you’d still be in bed, or some variation thereof. They are quite surprised when I say it’s just a hockey game.
I really mean it too. Three things would have changed the outcome of Game 7.
1. You can’t go 0-4 at home on the PP in a 7th Game and expect to win.
2. You can’t lose every faceoff in the attacking zone in OT of a 7th Game, and expect to win.
3. If they played better in games 2, 3, 4 they aren’t even in the situation they were in, and I’m debating if I go to Indy right now, or stay home to go to Game 2 tonight.
Alas, none of those things happened, and they lost, and I am over it.
Did someone say Indy? If I may switch gears for a minute. The Hammer is picking me up in about 3 hours, and we are off to Indianapolis for the 93rd running of the Indianapolis 500. It’s my 13th in a row, and I think Hammer has to be over 20 by now. There will be lots of lacrosse, steak, golf, and general good times. This Memorial Day Weekend, please take time to think about the men and women in uniform all over this world, and the sacrifices they make every day, so we can be free. I can’t thank them enough. Have a great week everyone, and Go Blackhawks!
Excellent point made here, had they played earlier in the series…
I have also gotten used to Stanley avoiding new england. I was 2 years old in 1972 so it’s really hard to miss something I never knew personally. Oh well, I do still have hope for the Blackhawks. Have A good trip.
SEMPER FI!! OORAHH!!
Blackhawks are blowing chunks right now, 5 to 1. I’m going outside…
