Then they go and play well and I start thinking..maybe.. Maybe they can get healthy on the fly. Maybe they actually can bring playoff level care/intensity. Maybe if they get through this round they go on a run. Maybe I'll still be watching hockey in June again. I would have been happier if they were just awful and lost but the last game is going to make it extra aggravating if they lose - especially the selective super x-ray vision of the beer leaguers in game 4. Yeah same here. I've only watched two games this series - games 1 and 5, both of which we won. I kinda feel obligated to watch this one too.

Thank you for your service
