Call me a bad fan…call me whatever you want…
But I refuse to believe that I’m the only Bruins fan out there who is rocking-back-and-forth-biting-their-lip nervous. Never in my lifetime have the B’s been in this position (well–they have, but I was 3). I would love nothing more than to witness my hometown team go to the Cup Finals, but the series is tied 2-2 and I’m starting to squirm.
Even if we were in Vancouver’s position (up 3-1) I’d be nervous. Look what happened to the Pens! Up 3-1 and then……..
….well, we know what happened….
See why I’m nervous? Anyway, tonight is Game 5 and instead of writing a post on why the Bruins will win…I’m going to sit back and zip my lips. I’ll even allow S to say whatever she wants about my boys without retaliation.
Make sure you check up on me every once and a while tonight…I’ll be holding my breath for 3 hours…
Dearest L, please don’t hold your breath for 3 hours…you will die and I kind of want to keep you around. Just stating the facts here ; )
Another fact that I don’t like is that I cannot talk about my boys individually in these intellectual musings anymore. Let’s look at the evidence from this weekend, shall we? I posted a feature on Steve Downie and Dana Tyrell. Who gets injured in game 4? Oh yeah, Downie and Tyrell. My bad! What I will say in order to pump myself up for game 5 tonight is that I believe that if this team plays with heart, they have the ability to beat anyone. The fans are excited and ready to see the next battle. Go Bolts!
