This is worse than a hangover.

I sit here in my Windy City apartment, fighting back the urge to kick my vibrating fridge, wondering what the heck happened last night.
We were so close.
How does a team go from glory to undeniable shame and defeat in the span of a minute-thirty? No heart? No drive? No courage?
No killer instinct.
Let’s face it, boys [...]

Scott Stevens, was that you? (A half-cap, if you will)

11:53 PM ET: A bittersweet moment, but we must give congratulations to Richard H. as he has taken home the 2MA t-shirt. Thanks to all who entered!

10:10 PM ET: What a waste. Season over.

PRE-GAME Thoughts from Section 209… Devils/Canes… 7th and FINAL Round!!!

I’m kinda fired up today, as you should be… as I eat my dinner and post my facebook pics of my brand-new niece Sienna… I got EXTRA pumped for this game and wanted to put this out there to any and ALL watching this tonight and watching us SMOTHER AND DESTROY RED-NECK INBRED HOCKEY [...]

We feel generous.

Okay, so, uh…the Devils need to win tonight, correct?
Correct.
Tonight is all do-or-die, a position all too familiar to Devils fans over the past few years. Why do our boys play with our hearts so freely?
It may be poetic, but I sure don’t want to see any tragedies tonight. I WANT EPIC BATTLES AND EPIC WINS [...]

Correspondence with Gary Bettman, as inspired by the New York Rangers

Well that was a super way to spend three hours of our nights wasn’t it? Sweet Jesus was that painful.
But I’m not making my triumphant return to 2ma’s gilded board for just any reason.
I’d tried everything before this, but screaming at my television clearly hasn’t been working and my playoff beard has been growing in [...]

Well Done.

The team might as well board the plane to game 7 right now… Considering they never even left the locker room to begin with.
Way to go guys.

Game 5: Devils @ Hurricanes LIVECAP!

10:02 PM: I’m goin’ to bed.  I think none of us are all that shocked that this series is gonna go seven.  My heart might not make in ’til Tuesday night.  G’night gang.
10:00 PM: Game 7 is Tuesday night at The Rock.  Let’s just pretend like tonight didn’t happen.  Game 7 is all that matters [...]
