So this is kind of still sinking into my brain. And three weeks ago I said that I would forget about it and move on, which I did. And I cannot wait for the NHL draft in 21 days. But when I look at Daniel Carcillo's smile and the jersey that he's wearing, and then I look at NHL.com and see that the Philadelphia Flyers are playing for the Stanley Cup, it makes me feel strange. Like, we were beating them 3-0 in the conference semifinals*. Then we were beating them 3-0 in game 7. Then they went to the Stanley Cup Finals. And now they're only losing the series 2-1 with a chance to even it up at home. Doesn't that get on anyone else's nerves just a little bit? If the Blackhawks don't win this series, I'm not sure if I can even visit NHL.com for a few months with the exception of the day we get Taylor Hall. Because seeing Mike Richards hoist up that trophy in front of a sea of orange and white really just isn't going to cut it for me. Step your game up Kane. Wake up Toews. You have work to do.

ReplyDeleteWow. Jim Joyce mistake right there by me. Had plenty of time to make a brutally obvious call and I blew it. Thanks for pointing that out.
