Things that shouldn't be said

posted by [personal profile] askye at 11:17pm on 03/06/2004
Things my father shouldn't say to me EVER!!!:

(after Tampa Bay losing in OT) "Well, Calagry is the better team."

What on god's green earth possessed him to say that? I don't care if it's true I don't want to hear that the rival team is BETTER than my team. My team that is now 1 game away from losing the Stanley Cup.

There's supposed to be symphathy or commiseration or something.


Not that.

I'm not sure that's true

As much as I want to see the Flames win (in part because it would validate my Rock-Papers-Scissors analysis -- that is, Speed team beats hitting team, hitting team beats hybrid team, hybrid team beats speed team), I think there isn't a lot between the two teams. I don't think that Calgary is better, but I do think that their style is a good match for TB. The Bolts had plenty of chances to win in OT, but it did look like they were wearing down. The goalies were great and big players had big games. That was a very entertaining hockey game.

I am going to reply to the comment you made in response to my post about Sutter.

I'm not sure why Dad said that, he's been watching hockey casually when it's on tv, whereas I've been actively seeking it out and trying to learn it. So maybe from what he saw of the game (third period and OT) it looked like Calgary was better.

Tonight was so frustrating...all those chances that didn't get converted! Plus all the times the puck and the stick didn't connect. And tonight was exciting. I spent the last few minutes of the third period with my hands over my eyes (well peeking through) because it was so nerve wracking! This has been WAY WAY more fun to watch and nerve wracking and frustrating than any Florida/Florida State football game I've ever watched.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think it has been good hockey. The ice surface in St. Pete's has made the games there flow a little more poorly than they would if the ice was better, but I think that has been to Calgary's advantage, as I think the Bolts have more skill and flow as a team.

No kidding. What a game! Overtime! Whoot!

That's the thing, they were getting their chances, but they weren't really capitalizing. Well, so it goes. It's all about next game now. Glad to see your injured boys back at it.
