Shit.

Game 7.

Only one of the first round. Stars looking like they're going to pull off the improbable. They've got huge momentum going into this last game, and they are dominating the shit out of Vancouver. The scores are close, but the games are not.

Midway thru the second, it's looking good for the boys. They're up 1-0, and the Canucks are playing like shit. Then the Sedin's finally earn their paychecks and we're tied. No biggie. This series has been tied for what seems like an eternity anyways. But then the refs start running the game and calling penalties like they've forgotten it's a hockey game. Apparently their heads are with the NBA right now cos they were calling anything that looked like a foul and sent the Stars to the box for most of the third.

So, we're out in Round One again. But at least Turco proved that he can kick some ass in the playoffs. Morrow had a phenominal first season as Captain, and Modano almost earned his paycheck. I'm left to wonder if Zubov had not been hurt if this would have all ended differently. Luongo was good in the series, but how can you not be good at 6'3"? He's effing huge, and maybe if there had been a normal sized human between the pipes we could have had a better shot. We certainly outplayed them.....

But there's still a lot of good hockey to be played before the season is over.

Go Sharks. Go Sabres.

And, god help me, for this next round only........Go Ducks.
