I don't think either of these series will be allowed to continue past today if it can be helped. Just by watching the first few minutes of this game, what they called Jagr for, while the Pens have been draped over and hacking my guys, the Rangers are battling more than 6 guys out there. Sad, sad, sad. Good fuckin' luck Rangers and Sharks.
And I have to acknowledge that the Sharks did get the breaks the other night. Funny thing about a best of seven series, if you've already handed the series to a team by giving them a hand in a 3-0 or 3-1 or 3-2 game lead, especially if that team is going back home which adds another 20,000 vocal people in their corner, it's OK to even it out a little to save face, because now you have breathing room. The NHL surely doesn't want to piss off an extremely loyal fan base in San Jose. To be honest, I can't really say that definitively happened here, because the Stars were the better team more often than not in those games, however, who knows how the series would have changed had they properly allowed the goal that was disallowed in Dallas?
And I can't believe the Canadian team was sacrificed (although, they were extremely overrated, anyway) for a Pennsylvania Eastern Final. This ain't the 90's. I'd be shocked if those ratings are anything close to whatever they're expecting.
Funny Thing About Momentum and Confidence (posted before the Malkin goal).
Funny Thing About Handing Out Useless Powerplays (when the team can't generate anything on the power-play and the other team has all the momentum, and can hook, slash, obstruct all they want). I wonder how different this game would be had a 4 minute powerplay been called for Drury getting high-sticked? I'm going for broke today, mofo's.
Why I watch the game anyway: passion, determination, and INTANGIBLE'S (like kids playing their first NHL game)!
1:18 to go in the 3rd- Jesus, are you fucking kidding me? Can you tell they're afraid of what can happen in OT?
And the momentum carried over, as intended. How fitting they scored on an offside play. Adorable. You can keep you're shitty Penguins and your sham league. At least now I can finally wear yellow again, including my first matching bra underwear set in years (bought to set an example for my daughter- not the matching, the wearing of underwear all the time, I'm a free-(non) baller, what can I say?). Goddammit, I thought AFTER buying them the other day, in fucking (Penguins) yellow, 'that was a mistake'. Now it's the only clean new shit I have after I get out of the shower, how fucking fitting. Stupid superstitions.
I love my guys and I'll still be supporting them, watching their progress, but just like all piece of shit companies, I just can't give my money to the NHL anymore. Fucking Christ, and I have to do this all over again later. What a weekend.
