June 6, 2015: Delaying the Inevitable

posted in: Blackhawks | 0

In this late early morning edition, we’ll talk about how the Lightning evened up the best of 7 series in Saturday night’s 4-3 win over the Hawks.  Personally, I didn’t think it was going to happen.

I know I said I wasn’t going to get overconfident, but it’s so damn hard.  Who the heck is this team anyways?  Most of these guys I’ve never heard of.  Besides Stamkos, who I thought was the guy from Full House, this team is full of nobodys.  I mean, I’m not the hockey expert… I don’t follow the rest of the NHL as close as I do the other major sporting leagues, mainly because I don’t play fantasy hockey, so maybe some of these guys are popular.  I guess playing in Tampa Bay has to work against you too.

Tampa Bay is not exactly the mecca of sports.  That’s where Joe Maddon came from… managing the Tampa Bay Rays in front of an empty stadium most of the time.  Here was a team that competed each year, and was at the top of the standings, that could not manage to draw good attendance.  The Bucs do have a Super Bowl win in their possession, and the Lightning has won the Cup once… I guess there are worse cities.  I just hate going against these other cities, who I feel don’t deserve to win anything because of their fan base.  I guess there are a number of die hard fans anywhere you go….

So this, and the way they won Game 2, is all leading to feelings of hate towards this team.  Most of the goals the Lightning have scored thus far have been “lucky”.  Yeah, I know you practice the deflection… OK…  it just felt like we got robbed in Game 2.  The best thing that the Lightning did was take out Bishop.  He was done… Another “hot” goalie coming into a series against the Hawks, and another goalie being dominated.  He was lost in this one… although ours didn’t look much better.  Bringing in the terminator to play goal instead of Bishop was the only reason that the Hawks aren’t up 2-0.

Or maybe it’s because the NHL and NBC want to extend this series.  Yeah, I know the conspiracy theory again, but I’m sorry, I believe in it to an extent.  I’m sure Crawford got handsomely rewarded for his performance in this one.  I heard the ratings for Game 1 were through the roof… and I’m sure Game 2 was up there too.  So…. let’s extend the fun…. let’s increase the amount of $ everybody is making… I get it.  That’s fine, as long as at the end of the day, the better team wins.  And we all know who that is. 

I wanted to win it at the UC this year.  I want to just win it period (going back to my humble fan self), but as the overconfidence creeps in, I wanted to win it in front of the home crowd, unlike the past 2 Cups.  To me, that meant a sweep, ending in Game 4 at the UC.  Well, now this game means that we’re going at least 5, and for my wish to come true, it means in 6.

At the end of the day, I just feel like the Lightning are delaying the inevitable with their Game 2 victory.  They can’t hold a candle to the Mighty Blackhawks… especially not in a 7 game series.  Let’s get back to what we should be doing on Monday night in Game 3.  Let’s get back to finishing the job we started at the beginning of last year. Let’s get back to getting those 3 more precious wins…  Let’s get past this latest bump in the road, and get back to making the dynasty official.  Go Hawks!!!
