The Unmistakable Cone of Ignorance

Have I mentioned my growing love for hockey here?  I can’t remember.  If I did, well, fuck you, I’m mentioning it again.  If I didn’t then, ” I have a growing love of hockey.”  So, Amanda and I went to the Senators v Capitals game today and got to watch the Capitals beat the Senators for the 4th time this season with a 4-2 win. We had 5th row seats near an end of the rink.

Means the Caps(one of the worst teams in points) have managed to beat the second best team in the league everytime they’ve met.  Also puts the Caps just 5 points away from the division lead.  Which is good cause the only way a southeast division team is going to make the playoffs is as the division seed.    I also got a ‘Kolzig’ hockey jersey as a souvenir and good luck shirt.  I look good in red and hockey jerseys.  Maybe I should’ve played hockey ;p.     I’ll put up some pictures of me in said jersey later.

On a side note, why are anonymous blogs written by people in retail or service so compelling to the rest of society.  I’ve started reading the backlog of this blog yesterday and I find it captivating.  He’s won some awards and been on a number of shows and done interviews and even gotten a book deal out of it all. Maybe it’s the Everyman aspect to it all. Everyone loves the everyman.

I think I’m cursed.  Every team I’ve rooted for in the Stanley Cup playoffs has lost their series to be eliminated.  Buffalo, Vancouver, Penguins and the Redwings are now down by 3 with 11 minutes left in the 3rd period.   Sigh. I guess I’m gonna be rooting for Ottowa in the playoffs since I just cannot root for the ducks.  Seriously… a hockey team from Anaheim?  blow me.

Buffalo needs to man up and beat Ottawa in the next 4 games.  I’m going to be seriously pissed if my choices in the final series are Ottawa vs Anaheim.  The other option is that Detroit keeps beating Anaheim like little bitches like they did tonight.  5-0 on Anaheim’s ice, holy shit go Red Wings.  Plus the Red Wings have the octopodes.   I just can’t bring myself to root for Anaheim and Ottawa beat Pittsburgh.  You fuck with the Penguins you’re gonna go down!  Karma will get you!  Jesus Christ…. I’ve got an opinion on a sporting event?  Who am I and what did I do with the real Dan.  Where is he you bastard!?! What did you do to him!?!GIVE HIM BACK!!!!
