Everyone has a favorite team, and love or hate we'll show up for their games. Sometimes those teams plain stink. A lot.
I went to one of these games, the Florida Panthers vs the Calgary Flames, only to watch my beloved Flames get shut out. Needless to say, none of us were rather impressed. Now, I could get into a long and cliche explanation to the failure of this game, but I feel like the drunk guy on the train said it best.
I have to say, we weren't really listening until I caught them talking about the Flames' trades to Toronto. Then we caught these snippets.
"You know, Toronto and the Panthers haven't made the playoffs since the lockout. And we just lost to them. It's like we don't have a bar, we've nothing to achieve!"
"I'd shit my pants if the Flames hadn't already done it for me."
"It's like Sutter thinks "We're already losing, I might as well play my son!" "
"It's like we've been played like a Chinese Finger Trap, and not in a good way." *pointing to the people laughing at him* "Yeaaaaah, you know what I mean!"
All in all, its times like these that make losses and bad games bearable.
