It’s over

Well, I was pretty certain it was done with McCabe’s goal in the 3rd, but with 12 minutes to go, I told myself “ANYTHING could happen”.  OK… perhaps a bit naive.  Randy, you’ve won.  The Leafs logo will occupy a prominent position on my blog until they’re knocked out. 

Good night all.  Back to work in the morning. We’re learning here in Ottawa to be a little more like the Toronto fans… “There’s always next year…”

Don’t let the kids down

I promised the kids Sens jerseys (it was a pinky-swear) if the Sens won… don’t let them down guys!

Janice wants Randy to know…

The Leafs are old farts, and the Sens are all babes….

Third period chant… it’s deafening ’round here….

Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!

Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!

Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!

Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go! Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!  Go Sens Go!

Sens down 3

Man, what a heartbreaker.  End of the first period, not down 1 or down 2, but down 3.  What’s happening Ottawa?  Lalime misses two easy saves, and the game is over.  Toronto is going to revert to stall and defend for the next two periods.  Boring, but effective hockey when you have such a huge lead. Randy is already crowing about our bet. 

Prusek in goal for 2nd period.  Lalime is not looking happy on the bench.  Ottawa scores at 22 seconds!!!  And Neuwendyk goes to the penalty box for holding.

Domi goes to the box for goaltender interference.  What is this?  Bowling?

And Tucker goes to the box for holding Vermette. 

Janice says that Belfour’s a jerk, and Lalime is a French Canadian babe.  That’s all that matters, eh?

Second period is over.   Interview with Chris Philips.  “What do you have to do”…. well the answer is obvious.  What a stupid question.  Score 2 goals.  And yes, everyone feels terrible for Lalime.
