ITS HAPPENING

Hope lingers...

I got my email confirming my early access to tickets to the Winnipeg Heritage Classic in October.

I told you buying a spot on the season ticket waiting list (despite living in Edmonton) wasn't crazy...

Sorry Jaron

The Caps lose and the fucking Pens win again. Oh well wait till next year so we can suck again.

Valmy, today is not about the Capitals...

Being a Jets fan gives one a certain perspective on fandom.  It could always be much worse...

Sorry.  But even though they lost, the score was pretty close all the time.  You have an excellent goalie.  Some really good defense guys, but you're a little weak on the attack.  I think if the Sharks can manage to keep the core and supplement the attack, they have a very good chance of winning the cup next year.  It is doubtful the Penguins can keep all their players with the salary cap and reach the finals next year too.

I like living in a world where the bad guy, Crosby, has 2 cups while the good guy, Ovie, has none.

At least when the Jets are good you don't get depressed knowing the inevitable is coming

Most fanbases are happy when the team is good.

I don't know the problem with the Caps, honestly.  They have a good coaching staff, they have excellent players, but when it comes to the playoffs, they always underperform.  Or is it just that everyone this year underestimated the Pens?  Ever since the series against the Caps, I'm hearing people say the Pens won't make it.  Before the Finals, journalists were saying how it was impossible for the Sharks to lose this series.  I kept hearing all along this season how Crosby was no more the player he was.  How in series he wasn't there like he should be. 

And yet, even without scoring goals, Crosby's presence was felt.  Unlike Ovie.  Ovie is dangerous when he shoots at the net, but he doesn't tie down 2-3 players trying to cover him.  He has an harder time escaping with the puck and passing it when he is marked.
Maybe they should exchange him to the Habs, he'd make a perfect fit with Subban

Sorry, Jaron

I thought it was nice they had the #9 (for Gordie Howe) up near the score last night.

Magic. Destiny. Fate. They built the Verizon Center on top of an old Amerindian burial ground.

probably that last one

Reading the comments on some newspaper's site, I stumble upon this gem:

La punition des Sharks pour avoir perdu, ils déménagent à Québec.

Shark's punishment for losing, they move to Quebec city

Jaron will be pleased

But you know Valmy, since you seem to have so much trouble with the Caps, maybe we should take them off your hands.  After all, a thousand km more or less to your favorite team, no big deal!
