Round 3, Game 3, Stars vs. Red Wings 05/12/08

Dallas 2, Detroit 5

Well, that’s probably it. There’s an infinitesimal chance the Stars could still do something, but they’d have to win a game first, and I am just not optimistic about that right now.

I’m trying to hold myself back from ranting and raving about my hatred for the Red Wings right now. I may not be very successful. I just want to point out one thing they do that I didn’t even know about, that Doc and Edzo on the Versus broadcast pointed out. Not only do they cheat with subtle picks and goalie interference and such, they also cheat on faceoffs! It’s no wonder they’re 70% in faceoffs. Sheesh.

Still, they won and the Stars lost. The Stars are down 3-0 and things really don’t look good.

I’m a little teary about it right now, but I think I’ll be okay. I sometimes think I’m not acting like a real fan if I’m resigned to their losing and not really upset about it. I mean, I’m sad, but I’m not mad. I’m disappointed, but not by the team, just the situation.

I feel bad for the boys. After the joy of that unbelievable game at home where they eliminated the Sharks in the fourth overtime at one o’clock in the morning, I hate to see them hit this wall. I don’t want them to feel as bad as I know they’re feeling.

I’m not going to berate anybody individually or collectively right now.

We’ll see how the next game goes.
