Another Game 7, No Different Than The Last Two


I have a funny story (or informative, see comment 3) for today's pregame post. On Saturday, I unfortunately had hockey at 6:10 so it was inevitable that I was going to miss a portion of the game. We finished our game, showered up, and dragged the cooler outside as it was still a little light out and a very comfortable spring evening. We came out to the parking lot to discover the Habs were up 1-0. Boo. Anyhow, a couple beers later and a drive home we find myself at the end of the second period with the Bruins down 2-1. Double boo. So, I leave my house and head for a party (where I later met my demise from something I ate leading to a stomach bug.)

So, I get to the party, I say hi to everyone. Yada yada, I sit in the living room near the tv and ask "does anyone have any objection to putting on the Bruins game?" No one said they did, and one other said he wanted to know what channel it was on. It is extremely safe to say that I am the only Bruins fan in my group of friends. Anyhow, the game turns on and I announce that "I may yell and/or rudely drop an F-bomb here or there." You know, just so I don't startle anyone. This is where it gets good. The Bruins score to tie it up and I obviously yell "YAAAAAA!!!" in a very loud fashion and pump my fist a few times. This one girl, who will be known as Naggy Bitch because of her outstanding personality, says "ummmm, is that really necessary?"

Holy Christ! Did she not here my announcement about my yelling not 5 minutes ago? I respond with "uhhhh, ya it is necessary. This is an important game." Everyone looks around the room at each other and just gives a funny look because this is a usual occurrence from Naggy Bitch. The game goes on, we all know the story with the back and forth and all. Naggy Bitch continues her ways. "How many sessions are there? Do they count up to 20 or down from 20?" If the Bruins were losing I think I would have snapped.

For the record, I love women. They bring many aspiring qualities to this earth. However, there are some people who do not. Hitler, John Wilkes Booth, Sadam Husein, Osama Bin Laden, and Naggy Bitch. That's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose.

Anyhow, it was a great night as the Bruins came back to win and force the game 7. However, after the game, my buddy started up the grill and we cooked some assorted meats. I had a steak, a cheddar dog, and a burger. The steak was very red and still mooing but, I didn't care because I had a good buzz and the Bruins victory put me on cloud 9. That next day did me in as I was sick as a dog. If the Bruins want me to have another stomach bug in place for a win tonight then I will take it. A full day of pain and not being able to eat is worth a game 7 defeat for the Habs.

Let's do it B's!!!
