The Offseason.
by Nic Olson
The only way to enjoy a Stanley Cup is to do it sitting alone, hands covering your face, screaming at refs and missed chances.
Dallas beats Buffalo in ’99, when I was 11. Late summer night, kept awake by my hatred for Hasek and his Sabres. Hull scores a controversial overtime goal.
Pittsburgh beats Detroit in ’09. Doug was sleeping on the hotel bed, and I scraped my face and plugged my ears to see the vision come true.
This year. It happens again. The only thing better than watching my own team win, is watching the Philadelphia Flyers lose.
Relief.
Sports blow my mind.
Sorry I was emailing you during the game. I should have known better, but I didn’t figure you would be that into the game.
I hate chicago..
that is the worst possible end to the playoffs..
so glad philly lost. also glad that the leafs now have the longest drought in the NHL.
