Game 7

Canes 3
Bruins 2 OT

What an incredible game. Amazing effort from both teams.

Man, I am spent. Cannot even imagine what the Canes and Bruins' players must be feeling right about now. What a great game. After that stinker of a game 7 in DC Wednesday night, this one lived up to the billing and then some.

It really astounds (and perhaps disturbs) me sometimes how much I invest emotionally in this team. On nights like tonight it all seems worth it.

I haven't written anything in this space in a while. And I'm going to try to spin a bunch of hyperbole here now. The one thing I will say:

I am so incredibly proud of my hockey team tonight.

About half way through the overtime I found myself thinking "win or lose, I cannot be disappointed in the effort tonight." Both teams left it all on the ice.

And Scotty Walker. What an amazing story that is. One for the ages for sure.

Hat's off to Cam Ward, Sergei Samsonov, Ray Whitney, Dennis Seidenberg, Joni Pitkanen, et al. A complete team effort.

Perhaps I'll write more later, but for now I'll just say, this is why I love hockey.
What an amazing game it is.

Half way to the promise land.

Bring on the Pens.

LET'S GO CANES!
