Now That’s How You Do a Game 7

Thank you to the Red Wings, Ducks, Bruins and Hurricanes for providing the world with two very entertaining Game 7s last night. At least some people know how to make these things interesting (glaring in the direction of Washington and Pittsburgh).

But some interesting things were to be learned from last night. For one, you cannot hope to defeat the Juggernaut That is Dave McBarayer’s Hurricanes. They will only find more painful ways to destroy you. Like blowing a 3-1 lead in the series to make you think you’ve got a chance at home in Game 7, having some guy punch out your orbital bone and then having that guy curbstomp you in front of your fans at home in overtime of Game 7. They did a similar thing to the Devils, minus the orbital bone thing, and I get the feeling their only mission is to systematically destroy the hearts and minds of opposing fans in the East. Luckily for us, they’re up against another team that makes a living doing the same sort of thing in the Eastern Final.

And how about those Red Wings, huh? 

I don’t know, I didn’t see the game since I was glued to Boston/Carolina thanks to my FanHouse duties. So, yeah, you guys tell me on that one. 

There’s no east coast bias here. No. Not at all. Move along, nothing to see.
