The Stanley Cup Final.
Game six.
It’s about to start.
Edmonton trails three games to two. They are trying to come back after being down three games to none. Realistically there is zero chance of that. They aren’t winning this series. They aren’t winning the cup.
Still… it would be nice to have another game after tonight, wouldn’t it? Seven games are better than six right?
Come on, Oilers. Prolong the agony. Pretty please.
The Oilers lost the first three games of the Stanley Cup Final series to the Panthers, virtually guaranteeing the Cup will go to Florida.
Then in game four, the Oilers won in a blow out. Tonight, in game five, the Oilers are up 4-2 after two periods.
If you were wondering what the hockey equivalent of a dick tease felt like, then know that this is it.
Even if the Oilers win tonight, there is still virtually no chance of them coming all the way back to win the Stanley Cup. They are just trying to give me a little hope so that Florida can crush my dreams the way they did when the eliminated my Bruins, both this year’s playoffs and last year’s playoffs.
Sure, I am happy the Oilers are winning in game five. It’s just going to make it more painful when they eventually lose.
In other news, the Red Sox beat Toronto again tonight. That’s four wins in a row for my home town team. I’ll take that.
Damn it, Edmonton!
After two periods in game three of the Stanley Cup Final, Panthers 4, Oilers 1.
Damn it, Edmonton!
That’s it. I give up. You’ve really let me down, Oilers. Seriously. Jerks.
Game three of the Stanley Cup Final. It’s tied at one about four minutes into the second period.
At what point do I just give up hope and accept the fact that the team I’m rooting for, Edmonton, is not going to win.
Crudsville, population me.
I suppose the Oilers could figure it out tonight and actually score some goals and win a game for a change. It could happen. I mean, they are in the Stanley Cup Final fer crying out loud. It’s not like they suck, you know?
Come on, Oilers. Let’s make this happen.
Game two of the Stanley Cup Final. After two periods from Miami, FL, the Oilers and Panthers are tied at one goal apiece.
I knew the Oilers’ lead through one period wasn’t going to hold. Damn it.
I expect more from your third period, Edmonton. I expect a lot more.
After one period of play in Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final, the Oilers have a 1-0 lead over the Panthers.
Finally.
There is zero chance that this game ends 1-0. Come now, Edmonton. Let’s pad that lead in the second period.
I’m not watching the game, as I don’t have cable anymore and don’t know how to stream ABC. Instead I’m following the gamecast in a browser window while starting to re-watch season one of House of the Dragon because season two starts on Sunday. Gots to get ready for some Game of Thrones Prequel style carnage, am I right?
Let’s go Oilers!
Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final between Edmonton and Florida is about to start down in Miami where ice is somehow a thing?
Florida took game one, two nights ago, by a score of 3-0. I read interviews with Edmonton players today who were all gung ho about how well they played in the loss and how if they play that well again good things will happen.
Do those good things include scoring one goal? Sheesh.
I want Edmonton to win the Stanley Cup because I hate the Florida Panthers with every ounce of hate I can muster. I am rooting for the Oilers despite their having beaten my Bruins in the Cup Final in both 1988 and 1990. I hate myself for rooting for them now, but only a little… because I hate Florida so very much.
Come on, Oilers. Get your shit together and win game two.
