Game 7 Wednesday Night!! - This is what sports is all about. Game 7 Baby!
First of all, no matter who you are cheering for...you have to give Boston and Vancouver props for getting here. Anybody that has ever played competitive sports at any level can attest to the fact that getting to the championship game is tough. Your body is in pain, your mind is exhausted at this point you are basically on auto pilot. So give the boys credit to get it to a game 7. I cannot remember a series like it. Ever. Totally two different series in one. Defensive low scoring in Vancouver, and blow out city in Boston. If you follow the script, it is a one goal low scoring win for the Canucks on Wednesday night....and the Cup. Sports though, rarely follows the script. I have no idea who will win. I would not bet on this series.
I know this. Once again karma has played a roll. I feel as though some players have been talking too much. When will athletes learn this simple rule? When in a "battle", do not talk about your opponent, focus on your own game. Play hard, as hard as you can. When it is over, and you have won the big game, you still don't need to talk about your opponent. They already know who won.
Be strong. Be humble. Show respect.
That is what makes you a winner.
Good luck tomorrow. I am cheering for the Canuckleheads. If Boston wins it, good on them, they have played tough. I think I will go with my same score as the one I so horribly messed up on Monday night.
The Cup comes to Canada. Vancouver 2 Boston 1.

Wow, you certainly have a lot to say! I can't believe you are rooting for the Canucks on the basis that it is a Canadian team. They play like a bunch of Swedes (or worse - remember Inge Hammerstong, even Ballard hated him?) and actually have fewer Canadians on the roster than the Bruins have. Bobby Orr was the greatest hockey player of your youth -- how can you not be a closet Bruins fan? Furthermore, no self-respecting Leafs or Habs or Senators or Flames or Oilers fan should root for the Canucks. It isn't right. Give your head a shake and go for the black and gold.
ReplyDeletepoint taken.....the thing is, The Stanley Cup belongs in Canada. And although I did see the Leafs win it, and plan to again.....Vancouver is our chance (for now) to bring it home)
ReplyDeleteSigh... too bad it didn't work out as you had predicted. A sad day.
