too moar

Game 48 vs. Florida Panthers 4-3 (OT)
SATISFYING WIN ON THE ICE AND ON THE SCORESHEET--SEEING THEODORE GIVE UP A FAIRLY LIMP 5-HOLE LOSER IN OT WASN'T VERY NICE, BUT NEITHER WAS IT VERY NOVEL
MUELLER, RAMPANT
MUELLER, RAMPANT, REMINDS HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE THE AVS BOASTED A GOAL-SCORER'S GOAL SCORER


Game 49 @ Los Angeles Kings 3-1
dedicated to Giguere

SURFING THRU THIS GAME
ESSENTIALLY A TENSE EXERCISE--BEGINS IN ROAD DESPAIR
PENALTIES AND A GOAL AGAINST DESPITE
OUTSHOOTING THE KINGS BY A MILLION
FROM DOWN THEY GO UP IN THE OBSCUREST WAYS AVAILABLE: 5 YEARS INTO HIS AVS CAREER, & A PORTLAND WINTERHAWK WHEN I LIVED THERE, NEVER HAVE I HEARD THE WORDS
"CODY MCLEOD BREAKAWAY"
NOR WOULD I HAVE PREDICTED SUCCESS FOR IT--THEN MUELLER ON THE REBOUND!
UNSUSTAINABLY HOT IS HOW I LIKE MY RETURNED-FROM-INJURY FORWARDS, AND HIS POINT PER GAME WILL CERTAINLY DO
UP 2-1 ON THE ROAD...KINGS START TO ACCUMMULATE SOG...I NERVOUSLY SCROLL THE ROSTER, WONDERING WHO'S DUE FOR A BIG MOMENT
MUELLER TAKES A PENALTY AND I KNOW THIS GAME WILL GO TO OVERTIME AND I PAUSE OVER KOBASEW AND LANDESKOG, whose team nickname is "Whitey", AS MY LIKELIEST CANDIDATES FOR HEROISM
MANY WEIRD PENALTIES IN A CLUSTER-PULSE I CAN'T PARSE IN MY CAFFEINATED ANXIETY
LANDESKOG NAILS ONE FROM STASTNY ON A GIVE & GO & EXACTLY THAT MUCH IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD
