worse party, ever?
i'm not angry that the caps lost - a little disappointed, but someone has to lose - no, i'm angry because i was denied a good game. washington didn't show up tonight. i planned my evening around this game - left work early, skipped my much-needed run, trekked to an unknown bar, tried to keep my anticipation under control... and half the equation shat the bed. this game had no emotion to it. i walked away from last year's game 7 very satisfied: caps lost, but they put up a good fight and it was an interesting game. tonight, i want my 3 hours back.
(btw, i think its amazing that so many of the boards favourite teams are in game 7's today and tomorrow...cept for xneverwherex and sweetie...who is your team anyway?
)
i grew up a habs fan (vs. the nordique fans, of which there were a lot too). senators came to town just as i was finishing up high school & leaving for university, i wanted to be in to the new local team but (1) it was impossible to get ticket for those first 2 seasons, and (2) they sucked. other than montreal, i like what the devils have done in the past decade so they're my #2. i'll root for the caps if they aren't playing my #1 or #2, because of my affiliation with the city. and like many other canuckistanis, i'll root for any team from north of the border in the playoffs, out of some misguided belief that someone - anyone - should "bring the cup home". yes, i'm quite aware how silly that is.
