a lot of hockey feelings, and then sleep
Oh man, happy hockey day? Western conference teams went well. Eastern conference teams were a shit show. I'm really glad Hawks and Blues did so well! We got to see the season-opening goal by Kaner, and it was beautiful. ♥ I'm really glad for him and Tazer and Hossa, even if the game was littered with penalties. And I didn't watch the Blues game against the Wings but Oshie got a goal. Yay! Stars held up against Yotes (fuck the Yotes), and Jagr put up points. Jaaaags.
On the other hand, I am put out by basically every Eastern conference result. Okay, not every, but my teaaams. The worst part is at least the Flyers had a decent offensive and created some solid chances, even if they couldn't follow through on them. Although their power play was a disgrace. But so was that RIDICULOUS PENALTY called on Giroux in the last minute. There was no tripping of Letang, FUCK OFF. At least G's goal was so pretty. Too bad for that barely offsides near-breakaway in the third. Fuuuck. He coulda buried that.
As for the Caps, they started off well and then completely lost their momentum and their heads after the first shot on goal and resulting goal from the Lightning. Ugh. Holtbyyyy. ;___; I hate to see him so discomposed. Joel Ward was awesome, but it just seemed like they couldn't get their offense together enough for decent zone pressure and eventually just fell apart.
And then the Canes. THE CANES. To be honest, I was pretty drunk and distraught by this point, but it was the worst because they were a hot fucking mess and it did not like they had any of their shit together, offensively or defensively. HI, WHAT IS THIS GOALTENDING JOB YOU SPEAK OF? And both Skins and Semin ended up in the box at points in the night. Control your rage issues, goddammit. Draw the penalties. EVERYTHING WAS GALKSDJFLSKGH. D:
UGH, WORST EVER.
All told, though, and despair aside, I'm actually really glad hockey is back. Getting to watch it is AWESOME. And it's only the first day of the season, so there's hope yet.
And hey, UNC and Liverpool won! I'm just not allowed a day where all my teams do well, apparently.
More hockey tomorrow!
But sleep first, and then coffee and some cooking before we do this all again. I'm so glad hockey's back.
