I've about had it. In no other sport can one team dominate an entire game and yet lose. At least not with the regularity it happens in hockey. There are so many instances of "bad breaks" and "lucky bounces" not to mention complete inconsistency in penalty calls that it's not even fun to watch. I mean literally, to win the Stanley Cup, you don't have to be the best team, you have to be the luckiest. Yes, you create your own luck by working hard, but to make it through 4 rounds of the playoffs without luck is 100% impossible.
The Wild have been the better team for 3 plus games of this series and are now down. Colorado has been nothing but a bunch of whining babies who can't even sell out a playoff game and yet, through the miracle of a "hot" goalie and some (let's be judicious here) less than even-handed officiating, stand to win this series at home on Saturday. It's hard to watch.
Shrink the pads, widen the nets, and expand the ice so that skill can be more than 65% of the game and then maybe I'll come back.....
(Or just win games 6 & 7 and I'll be happy as a clam again) Damn I hate losing.......
