Red, white, gold...and beef.

Ok. I have beef. Hence my MSN name. Let me break this down for everyone. I, like many who have lived in the nations capital before me, am an Ottawa Senators fan. (Please note, any comments demeaning the team i love or saying they suck, although you opinions are entitled, will be deleted so save yourself some time. Thanks.) I whated Friday nights game with my dad.
Here's what happened:

First period:
Buffalo oppened the scoring only .35 seconds into the game, 1-0.
Ottawa tied the scorer 2 and a half minutes later, 2-2.
15 seconds after that Ottawa took the lead, 2-1.
3:36 later Buffalo tied the score, 2-2.

Second period:
1:47 in Ottawa took a 3-2 lead.
3:29 in Buffalo tied it 3-3.
4:15 in Ottawa took another lead, 4-3.
19:30 into the second period, Buffalo tied it 4-4.

You can already see how this would become frustrating.

Third Period:
.16 seconds in Ottawa took a 5-4 lead.
18:23 into the third period Buffalo tied the game 5-5.
Ok so with a minute and .37 seconds left in the game, it's tied. Whatever, tie game.
A minute and 2 seconds later ottawa takes the lead. So with 11 seconds left, it's 6-5 for Ottawa.
Then buffalo scored. 6-6. I was like, ok so we can't hold a lead.

So overtime, we gave up the puck 18 seconds in and their captain scored the winner, 7-6.

What a game, i thought. Amazing chances, goals here goals there back and forth until the cows came home. Then i thought so this means Buffalo is up 1-0 in our series. They need 3 more wins to take them past us into the third round. Thats' not too bad. So our goalie had a bad game, he'll do better. So we gave up the puck a LOT, that's ok cuz there's still a lot more hockey to play. And that was my opinion.

Then i opened TSN.ca and read lots of readers comments saying Ottawa will bomb and how our goalie doesn't belong in the NHL because of one performance. Then someone noted that it's not how you start it's how you finish. So ottawa lost the first game, SO WHAT?! I don't know why i'd post this, no one cares. It's just frustrating that people jump to the worst possible conclusion just because of one game.

Anyway we'll take Game 2 i'm sure. We outplayed them in Game 1, and as long as we can stop giving it up so often, then we'll take some more! Anyway that's my rant. Hope you had fun reading.

Oh and funny story i was watching the Simpsons while typing that and it has the BUS with Otto racing Marge in her car. And the bus is bouncing up and down and Milhouse states,

"It's just like Speed 2 but in a bus instead of a boat"

Anyone who doesn't get that..well..oh well.

And p.s if anybody asks, red white and gold are a few of Ottawas colours. Beef cuz i had something to say. LOL i only say this because i know their will be questions as to what was happening (re: Certain confusion over my last blog title..lol.)
