alright alright, after skimming my posts.. some were alright, some were over the top.
but its the Conference Finals against its the biggest rivalry in my life. rags fans are everywhere in NJ. its bitter.. its deep. I hear it from everyone.
i'm anxious. we're down 1-0. and i'm usually stressed at work when i type this stuff... cuz i work at a house with literally crazy people. its stressful.
i've talked hockey, lineups, this and that, for paragraphs and paragraphs on here for the last.. 2 years.
i've been nice and have tried to avoid trolling for 2 years.
i've been through a huge breakup, graduated college, found some jobs, and have maintained a long distance relationship in the last 2 years.
....but u didn't need to know that.
i get more ridiculous and entertaining as i get more tired. its been a long week.
Its all emotion now, sadly. Maybe tomorrow i'll talk hockey. But whats to say? we put so much pressure on them and got a win.. woo go Devils! or.. ah crap they're so good at blocking shots, we couldn't get anything past Hank.. we need to do this that and the other to correct it.
i'm fried from analyzing. i just want to get through this series. This is more of a circus than anything for me. Its not about the hockey. its about just beating the Rangers in the conference finals. Its about shedding the shadow. Its about finally being free!
no one sees me like this because we've never been in this position. But its the truth, we've been in the '94 shadow since.. '94. We have our Cups, but no head to head triumph in such a huge series. We have nothing to balance out NY's head to head victory.
its sad.
its something we've lived with for years.
and we may not have another chance, with Brodeur, ever again.
sure the Rags don't have Richter anymore.. but Lundqvist is even better in my opinion, Brodeur is at his end... and it would be great to come out of this on top with "Marrrrtyyyy" in net.
so thats where I"m coming from. .. and damnit i ended up writing an essay anyway.
