http://blog.the-jdh.com/ I graduated highschool for a reason, and it wasn't to go to college. en Copyright 2008 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 08:12:20 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.33 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss It started off typical enough. And by typical enough, I of course mean you win one, you lose 6. Bright side: we pasted Ottawa, sucka! I mean, yeah it was 3 nill, but come on. I'm used to Ottawa having the 3. Yay for missing that game–not on purpose! Of course, I'd love to say I missed the next two on purpose as well, but sadly, I watched part of the game versus the Stars last night. At least I stayed awake long enough to see them score the first goal, though. Even… if the next 3 belonged to the wrong bloody freakin' team. And I'm not even gonna touch Boston. That's a whole other rant for a day when I don't work. If anyone can provide me an explanation for our team's sudden bout of suckitude that's apparently lasted about… oh… 3 years too long, I'm open to it. In the meantime, can we start the 'blow Ferguson blow' chant?

But first, I slept through this, and I don't regret it–apparently, the stink was bad. Not that there's anything good about being on the 2 end of a 5 2 game, but… oh, my, lord. 19 seconds in and it's already 1 nothing for Boston? I do have to ask, someone who actually watched the game–can you tell me if anyone actually showed up for our team? Anyone? Looking at the end result, I'm slightly inclined to say… um, hell no. And that pisses me off.

Sundin's back, and scoring. Still. A powerplay goal in the third period, spoiling what would have ultimately been a shutout. Otherwise, though… well, they don't seem to be improving any in the back to back games situation, wherein they've so far lost, I believe, every single one of the game 2's of said back to back nights. But, on the up side, there be a rematch on Tuesday. The two days off will hopefully give the Leafs the room to win. Hopefully.

Blarg. But, on a somewhat positive side, I suppose, if you can call it a positive side, we did manage to win 4 in a row before promptly doing our best immitation of the other team. But, we did get at least a point in 5 straight games. And our next game *is* tomorrow, so there is an opportunity to redeem ourselves. Not that I'm holding my breath, but I could wind up surprised. In the meantime, though… I have another entry to write, and then it's off haunting my usual blog hangouts. But first, I update Firefox, and try to get the memory of yesterday's game out of my mind.

And it almost was, except they somehow managed to do it again with a win over Boston tonight. Minus Sundin, and Minus Raycroft for just under half the game. On the bright side(s), we know where the scoring will come from, at least for tonight. We know Aubin can handle the pressure of coming in to bail us out, not that we needed bailing out. We know a 4-goal lead is not safe, at least for the moment. But it wouldn't be a Leafs game without at least one black mark on the record. I'd of thought the Raycroft injury would be enough of a black mark, though. Apparently not. Ah well, we still won.
