http://blog.the-jdh.com/ I graduated highschool for a reason, and it wasn't to go to college. en Copyright 2008 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 09:09:01 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.33 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss That patern, for the generally curious or generally bored, is that when I figure things will turn out slightly more positive than I'd initially thought, they do a complete 180. So far, that patern has only been proven in the hockey world–I'm still working on the rest of it. Reasoning. I stayed awake during the Washington mess and, well, it was the Washington mess. 'Nuff said. I stayed awake during the game this Friday against everyone's favourite NJ team to mock, and after about the start of the third period, it sucked. Badly. On the other hand, when Saturday's game against the Canadians ended up being 2 1, I ended up being asleep. At which point they somehow managed to pull off a win. Now, I haven't got it down to an exact science yet, but common sense, which I have accused many a person of lacking, is telling me I should already know what the exact science is. In short, the next time the Leafs are scheduled for a huge game, sedate me. I'll read the final score when I wake up.

I'm sorry, but we could have, and should have, won that game. Except for the fact we didn't play. We just kinda… sat there and hoped the puck would somehow find the back of the net. Which is not gonna happen when you've got a goalie like that playing for the other team, but that small little factoid didn't seem to stick with them. And they were doing so well, too…

But… what in the 7 levels of hell? Rarely do I see a team up 6 3 going into the third period, like the Leafs were, only to lose 7 6 because of stupidity. The few minutes at the end of the game were an example of that one… save in the overtime period, the puck seemed to spend most of its time in the wrong end of the bloody rink. I can't really comment on much more than that, because… well, while they were playing, I was driving home. But, to lose like that in a game in which they were clearly dominating, something had to have fucked up. I should catch a replay and figure out exactly what the hell broke in the third period… because that was just absolutely rediculous in the extreme.
