But not for a good reason. Boy the Phaithful are really gonna need to drown their sorrows after tonight's debacle...wow was that painful to watch. I didn't get to see the first and walked in right as they were showing Leino's goal on the replay before the faceoff. Seriously boys...what happened?
They seemed to have a little jump after Leino's goal, and they really had some life after my boy Zherdev's goal. The last good thing to happen in that game was the sick drop pass from Vils to Carle and the almost lazy tip in by Sideshow Bob to take a 3 goal lead. If I had known what was coming next I would have went right to the liquor store and bought myself a nice big bottle of Jack or some Captain Private Stock (yumm) so I didnt' feel like throwing my brand new flat screen across the room. Now we have a bit of an idea of how the B's fans felt last season after their team choked on the biggest dick in recent NHL history. The Sharks scored 3 unanswered goals in what like 3 minutes or some shit like that? Granted 2 of them were on a powerplay if I remember correctly and one of them was like 4 seconds after one had ended but still, that's just unacceptable.
Now I know many of you are gonna turn and point at the more than questionable officiating, and you'd be right to a degree. The Sharks most definitely got away with a couple, especially in the overtime, and the Flyers had a couple...let's say soft calls go against them but seriously guys, you can't blame the complete lack of effort and total break down totally on the zebras. Even Bobrovsky looked a little shaky tonight in goal, wouldn't surprised if it was Doosh in net tomorrow. Me and a buddy of mine had a theory that Lavy had a giant dildo in the locker room that he used on players that played badly on any given night, well tonight everybody's gonna be getting a go. It's a shame that we have to be so hard on them, for the first...45 minutes or so it was a pretty decent game. That last 15 minutes was so bad that it just completely overshadows all the positives from earlier in the game.
When that not so buzzer beating goal went in in overtime I knew something was up, when they Flyers are playing that terribly they never get any kind of break and end up pulling the game out of their asses. And does anybody else think that Groo just completely gave up in the shootout?? Where was the dangles...drop your shoulder...head fake...deke at least for christ sakes, he just walked right in and winged it wide. That was probably the worst part of the game for me. If anything I thought if the Flyers could hold off until the shootout the had a decent shot, Nitty isn't really that good and our shootout guys could have made short work of him....but yet again, I was wrong.
Tonight's positive: tonight's almost over and they play Toronto tomorrow.
That should be an easy bounce back game for them but it's Philly, you just never know.
