I kinda forgot I have to keep writing even when my heart’s been ripped from it’s cage un-anesthetically. Whoopsie.
Well, actually, that’s not true. I didn’t forget, it’s just that losing in the first round of the playoffs usually coincides with the end of the college semester, and this one was a doozy.
So please accept my apologies for disappearing since Game 6. I did not commit suicide, nor am I lost adrift on a raft in the ocean, talking to a hockey puck painted in my blood to look like Johnny Oduya.
There hasn’t been much on the news front as far as Devil-land is concerned. After a first round defeat like that, I guess everyone’s entitled to sick back and lick their wounds awhile.
I have finally had the strength to put on second round playoff hockey games occasionally. I have not, however, found the strength to get emotionally involved in them. I guess I’d like to see Chicago and Washington advance, which means I probably just cursed them both. I’d least like to see a Ducks/Hurricanes matchup, which means – yep, book it.
Anyhoo, I’m wrapping up this hastily-put-together-and-not-at-all-thought-out-post with promises of awesomeness to come: We still need to get ZubbieCounterContest voting underway (let’s say late May/early June), Draft Day preparations (I’m going to actually try to research some of the young’uns the Devils might consider drafting this year, if time allows!), and of course – Free Agency Signing Happy Fun Time & Box Social. God help us this year.

I recently just starting getting back into the other playoff games… and holy shit there have been some awesome games! right now the Canucks and Blackhawks are in a knock down drag out, trading goals in the 3rd. The Ducks/Wings series has been epic, and I might get shunned for this, but I’m pullling for the ‘Canes to take it all, because I won’t feel so bad if they beat everyone else and win the cup.

Miss your posts. They always give me a chuckle.
Let’s hope things are way better next year.

Thanks, EG. I’ll try to get something up in the next day or two. I’m enjoying not having any work for a week before summer classes start up again, lol.
