So last night I'm watching the Bruins-Flyers game. Boston is up 3 - 0 with 17 minutes played in the first.
Har har har, I chuckle, good Ol' Seru's Flyers have battled back from a 3 games to 0 deficit only to be man handled by a milquetoast Bruins team.
I sit down to "pen" an appropriate post to rub his face in it and then leave to play a little pick up hockey with my son down at the local rink.
When we come back, we turn on the tube and find out that the Flyers have allegedly staged the greatest comeback in the history of hockey. Down 3-0 in games and in score in Game 7, they win the series and Game 7 four to three.
I say "allegedly" because there are two salient points were need to discuss here. The first is that this would be somehow remarkable if it was any team other than Boston. Trust in Boston to find a way to ignominiously make it into the history books. I have a friend who swears up and down that Boston is and Indian word that roughly translates to "choke" in english.
So no credit to the Flyers - instead we applaud Boston, whose hockey team triumphantly found a way to out do amazing feats of countless epic chokes.
The second point is that it has become obvious to me that no matter how hard Boston tried to choke, there was no way they could have pulled off a choke of this colossal magnitude without the help of Satan.
J'accuse Seru, I ask you here and now, before all of the good people of BP-Net:
Did you sell your soul around 5:15 PST last night? Don't you realize that this one little win wasn't worth eternal damnation?
Well, thanks to Satan, Seru's poor bartered soul and the Bruins, I can now chuckle all weekend when I hear about a Number 7 seed having the home ice advantage,..........
