Loading ...So Tuesday night, the Hurricanes celebrate the arrival of their new comrades-in-arms by almost choking a three-goal lead to the Boston Bruins.
Last night, they celebrated my anniversary by beating the Pens down 4-2 and making Evgeni Malkin cry like a little bitch. Well OK, a big bitch.
In a development that has half the ASBOs in Western New York rejoicing in their MD20/20 (and has the more class-free members of the Pens Nation clapping for glee as well–my wife, OTOH, is none too happy), the Warchief is out for the season with a torn ACL. Was it a cheap hit? No. It was a “shit happens” thing–I didn’t see anything deliberate on the part of the Pens (as opposed, of course, to Brooks Orpik piledriving Erik Cole into the boards and breaking his neck–you still can’t convince me that it wasn’t deliberate).
Yes, I have a wife. Two of them! And a husband, and a husband-in-law too. Deal.
So yeah, anyway. The power play finally woke up last night, which was encouraging. It was very encouraging, but I won’t be fully encouraged until I see them keep it up.
Tomorrow night the ‘Canes will play the Panthers at the RBC. Wonder how long it’ll take before they get Vokoun to have another of his very entertaining meltdowns?
Hi AQ. I was at that Canes-Pens game. I’m a huge Pens fan from WNC and it was my first chance to see them live. I gotta tellyou…Canes fans are some of the nicest people I’ve ever been around at any sporting event. My son and I were both wearing Pens stuff, along with one of my son’s friends from NCSU, and everybody was as nice as can be. One guy even smiled and patted me on the back after the 4th goal and told me “better luck next time”. Maybe I just got lucky that night, but what a first impression! I don’t see any reason not to like 2 NHL teams. I KNOW this is an awful late comment on a Feb post, but it IS August. Greets!
