Ugh... I can only imagine how bad this is going to get tonight... the
nerves... the emotions.. Which Devils team shows up? Which Avalanche team?
Is it too much to hope for that the Avalanche play it a little tight, at
home, with a chance to win it all? Is it too much to ask that the Devils
find their heart, their courage, and their brains, pull them out of their
asses, and play like the Defending Stanley Cup Champions? Is it too much to
ask that Gary Thorne actually get the players names right? I
honestly...just...don't know what to expect anymore. It's Game 7... and I
should be happy... they got it down to a one game, winner take all
situation... down 3-2 to Toronto, I'd have taken this if it were given to
me...as a fan... but not now. Not after the way they dominated game 5. Not
after the way they came out in the first period of Game 6. Tomorrow night...
what will we see? Will I be tempted to put my fist through my TV? Or will
I jump for joy in search of someone to hug? God... I HATE Game 7... but
boy...do I love Game 7 ...
Just 20 more hours... and we will know... if we root for a team with the
heart of a champion... or a group of pussies on ice...
