It would be incredible! And darn it, I still have school next week or I'd be down there in the JumboTron crowd! aurgh!
I'm still basking in the glow! All day I was pretty serene and confident, but then we started watching all the pre-game stuff (NHL Channel, FSN, VS) and my stomach just knotted up. I can tell you one thing, I am SO sick of hearing all the dredging up of "last year in the Finals..." Well, guess what, folks, this isn't last year and we are not following that script so frikkin get over it!
Geno is dominating this series, and I couldn't be happier. But what is it going to take to get these analysts to shut up about last year...again. Geno's goal sure fired us up. Sid's goal....a thing of sheer beauty! the celebration for it was pretty darned funny! Finally Staalie came thru and I have to admit, as much as I've been down on that line this series, I was impressed!! Kennedy's goal was pure textbook passing and connecting. These 4 goals will be highlight reel for a while! We had a few letdowns; in fact after the Wings 2nd goal, I was fearing the worst. Of course....when I look at the replays of it....Cleary was all over Fluery on that one.
The reffing....what does anyone think of the reffing in Game 4? I saw alot of stuff being let go, some real flagrant stuff was happening TO us and was being ignored, like Sid getting chopped down from behind. That left me holding my breath, to see Sid laying there and then to see him hobbling to the bench. Don't think he missed a shift or did he--seemed like it he may have but then when he was back out there he seemed fine. The hitting in this game was amazing, as in holy crap, how can they hit like that and skate away from it? Makes my body ache just watching them!
I will say this...it LOOKS like we're wearing them down. Osgood can be beat, we've figured that out just as we did with Varlamov and Ward. He's not liking that fact--you can see it in his reactions after goals. Our next game is huge....and while that phrase is getting worn out, there's really no other way to say it. WE MUST WIN IN THEIR BUILDING. To take this thing, we've still got to win ONE in their building. With the wave we're riding now, I feel like we can do...
