I live for this time of year. Everyone will get cranked up - and
there will be some good ol time fan hostility no doubt, but before it
all gets started tonight, just wanted to wellwish Lightning fans the
best. I know my team has gone 1-3 against your team and despite all
those pronosticators who seem to think you can win a game on
goaltending or even a goaltender's reputation alone, I have a lot of
respect for what your team brings to the table. Heck there's a few of
us over in the Devils ng in the past (when there was a divide between
Torts and Vinny) who've salvated over what it would be like LaCavalier
on our squad. Those 51 goals don't surprise us.
The team I root for went through a little upheaval with a few games
left in the regular season. Everyone has their take on it, but imho,
it was because despite the relative success they had in the standings,
they spent most of the time in their own zone depending on their
goaltender to bail them out and what offense they put together was
almost by accident.
Whether they can turn that around on a dime is the $64,000 question.
But whatever goes on, just wanted to tip the wine glass with you to
the best time of the year.
Game on.
