LoG, dark night of the soul
Let's just get this over with. That game sucked. Both teams played like ass. Both teams acted like ass most of the time, too. We should all be ashamed of ourselves because that was the most bewildering display of hockey tomfoolery since Ned Braden dropped his drawers at the end of Slapshot. And since this was neither filmed nor fictional, the chances of it becoming a cult classic are slim indeed.
How Walgreens was my valley?
I was so aggravated by last Sunday's game that I took out my frustrations on
a Walgreens pharmacist. Admittedly, due to a computer glitch at one
Walgreens and an inventory snafu at another, he was the sixth Walgreens
pharmacist I had encountered that day. And he had the audacity to get lippy
with me. But still, that hardly excuses my abusive behavior. So I'd like to
apologize to you, Walgreens pharmacist #8156. You were really only partially
responsible for my bad mood. I should have been at least 45% less snippy
with you. How'd you like to be the Player of the Game? Does that make it
better?
Quote of the Game
Sean: "Game over. And may I say, this was the worst game of the whole season
for both teams."
Denial is the first step in recovery
Alright, I think the best way to move forward from this appalling travesty
of a post-season is to pretend it never happened. Forget all about it. Wipe
the slate clean. I'm willing to start right now. In fact, I don't even know
why I'm writing this Shopper. What? We had a game? Huh?
Hurtling into the future
So the spring season allegedly starts this weekend. I say "allegedly"
because we still haven't heard anything about game time or confirmation of
the season's existence. Wait, why am I writing this Shopper again? Oh yeah,
because Steve and I have no idea who's on the team. There has been talk of
some players returning, some others departing, some playing half the time,
some perhaps becoming women. Hey, I can dream, can't I? Anyway, Steve would
be obliged if you would let him know your availability this week so we can
cobble together a roster.
And on a serious note, I'd like to point out that Daylight Savings Time goes into effect this weekend. So if there is a game, it'll happen an hour earlier than you might expect. Unless you reset your clock or something. But seriously, right? Who does that anymore?
