Rod Brind’Amour apparently isn’t happy about the game winning goal tonight. Apparently, he also kicked ESPN.com’s EJ Hradek’s puppy. In front of a bus.
It’s 5am on Sunday, somehow, and I’ve had a few hours and some beers to reflect on the disappointment of Game 3. I hate that Carolina came out pretty flat early. I hate that Mick McGeough (or however the hell you spell that prissy jackasses name) takes control of very important games with his whistle. I hate that what could have been a 3-0 series lead is now a series in doubt. Edmonton showed tonight (err, last night) why they’re tough at home. They’ve also shown that they can control a game the same way in Carolina (or, preferably, they can roll over and finish a third period playing like a bunch of bitches). Game Four is now insanely important. If Carolina can’t get it done Monday night, they may have to rely on winning all four at home. Game One proved that to be no sure thing.
I have a feeling I’m just being a paranoid fan. At least I hope that’s what it is.
Oh. And EJ Hradek is now on the Sean McCormick list. What a couple of pricks.
Nice Simpsons reference…now I’ve got the song stuck in my head.
I still can’t get around the fact that your fan loyalty transferred to Carolina. Never the less, I wish you and your team the best of luck. But if the Oilers win, deep in my heart, I’ll be happy because shouldn’t be played south of the Mason-Dixon line.
If Hartford gets a team again, as they are hoping, would you stick with Carolina or go with the new Hartford franchise?
Since I don’t have any real loyalties to the Hartford area, and the new team wouldn’t be playing in a shopping mall, probably not. Especially if the new team ends up being Pittsburgh. Blech.
And I’d like to be happy for the Canadians who seem to desperately need one of their own to win the Cup, but for now, screw ’em. Go Canes!!!
