Great quote:

From Rich Hofmann’s article:

And if, as Boucher acknowledged, he would have liked to have made a big save on the Wild’s second goal, well, that is part of last night’s reality. If he makes it, maybe the Flyers get away with playing a meek, unfocused third period and get both points.

But the underlying truth is that they still played a meek, unfocused third period. It is the real issue here.

A video that will make you smile for four reasons

1. A “Sssh!” that means something.

2. Fan v. Coach on the bench.

3. Who is that joining in the celebration dogpile? Mario Kempe!

4. You really, really want an opportunity to feel good while watching hockey again.

can an entire fanbase and hockey team carry the same level of apathy?

I think one of the best parts is the Senators one:

“This exciting team features two young goalies…both of whom get to play every game.”

Love the part where they tell you about the Habs and their history and how they’ll be happy to show you a lengthy video history of it, before every game. They also boast a Cup for every generation…except this one.

Good stuff.
