Issue #78 — Minor Issue Before Tonights Game
“Israel’s weary wanderings were all over, and the promised rest was attained.” — CH Spurgeon
Due to a couple of unforeseen emotional crisis’ I have not really been able to stay on top of my game this weekend, but that has not stopped the Vancouver Canucks from staying on top of theirs.
The only really interesting thing about our last game was that afterward pundits claimed it was not really a good game, but it was an exciting one. Which is sort of like saying, “well, I got laid, but it wasn’t very good sex.” For the disinclined I suppose everything can have it’s shortcomings, what I saw on Saturday night was four rolling lines, a lethal power-play and timely saves by the 10 Million Dollar Man. Sure Lou let in four goals, but he stopped the ones that counted bitches.
It was said in the off-season that our team was good on paper, but with this latest six-game win streak the paper feels a lot more like ice these days. This five-game road trip East will really test the mettle of our troops, but the emotional purgatory Canuck fans experience season-after-season may cease if they can prove they are no flash in the pan. That means wins.
That means no less then a President’s Trophy.
That means, you know, a ring and a silver Chalice.
