I've Been Abandoned

An Endangered Species 

My fellow AngryHockeyFans have dropped off the face of the earth.  The Sens won last night and so did the Canucks.  Where are the victory dances out of the Ottawa and Vancouver bureau?  The Habs lose, and I'm hear to answer for it.  Heck, we were two goals away from ice cream covered ladies gracing the cover of this blog.  Sadly, it still has not happened.

How did they blow two leads last night?  Especially 3-1 against the Islanders.  Tavares OT pass was probably the highlight of the night on TSN this morning, so whatever, Hickey deserved that goal.  But blowing those leads to the New York Islanders is tough to swallow.  It's safe to say that the travel fatigue of going to New York this week finally settled in.  Last nights game should have been played in Brooklyn, but that's an issue for the league offices to address.  Why is nobody else on the internet pissed about this?  Screw you NHL, you cost us a point!

A loss to the New York Islanders is just downright sad, but holding onto first place in the East wasn't all so awful.  We got a point.  At the beginning of this week I said if the Habs could manage six points out of 8 I would be satisfied.  That means an OT loss or win Saturday will continue to make me HappyHabsFan, at least for the near future.

To fill your hockey voids tonight I can suggest three things.  Drinking your memoires of last night away.  Watch the Oscar nominated film 'Argo' that just came out on Blu-Ray this week, or catch San Jose in Chicago.  Can they keep it rolling in the windy city?  Gametime is 8:30 PM.

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

I'm not going to get sucked into the whole Friday morning 6 points out of a playoff spot, game against the Leafs on a back to back storyline today. No way. I stand by my eulogy of the 19/20 season. I will admit this was awesome: Beautiful classic two pad stack from the great Carey Price pic.twitter.com/piw3ZDA42P — That's Hockey Talk (@ThatsHockeyTalk) February 7, 2020 But I'm still not getting sucked into this.

Carey Price has a .924 save percentage since Dec. 1. Since Jan. 1 it’s .937. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Okay okay, but if we can't score does it really matter anyway?
