Today the NHL season is over. Well, the Cup Finals start soon, but the season is over for me. I no longer care. Probably never did. Watched a game or two. It was disappointing. Shonai Ben, where the fuck are you?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Leafs are looking good. For fucking real!!!!!

Pittsburgh is up two games to one. Nashville finally decided to play an entire game. That went fairly well. Pittsburgh has looked good for about 8 minutes in three games. There are six billion or so ways to look at this series. I don't actually know any way to look at it. The puck flies around, people hit one another, and a red light goes on. There is a "winner" at the end, but I really have idea how the team wins. It seems like pure chance to me at this level of play. Somebody thinks for a moment that he forget to put the clothes in the dryer earlier in the day and the next thing he knows he is back in the minor leagues for being a halfwit.

Game 4. Nashville, Tennessee. Why does Nashville have an ice hockey team? Don't know. Don't understand. Probably something to do with white men, clubs, and violence but that is just a wild guess. Anyway, Nashville won the game. Pittsburgh's players decided to let their goalkeeper face 140 km/h shots without bothering to defend as hard as they usually do. Perhaps the goalkeeper hasn't paid into the widows and orphans fund yet this month. Next game is in Pittsburgh. Crosby and Malkin can't play 60 minutes a game yet so it should be a decent game for Nashville. Series evened up at two games apiece.

Stanley Cup champions might come from Nashville? That just sounds all kinds of wrong. Should be iconic teams like Red Leafs vs Edmonton Oilers vs Canadiens

Game 5 in Pittsburgh. Final score: Pittsburgh 6 - Nashville 0. It is very difficult for a team to win when it spots the other team an American football touchdown in a game of ice hockey ("hockey" for Canadians). I watched the game. I felt really bored with life after the first three minutes of watch Nashville skate around as though five players had lost their contact lenses in various corners of the rink. I went to bed after the full 60 minutes of the undead playing the dead walking and searching for lost contact lenses. I fell asleep immediately, which seems to be what happened to Nashville players after the national anthem was sung. Game 6 will see Lord Stanley's hardware in the building. It might be as close to winning it as Nashville ever will be. Without some sort of Duracell battery-type jolt to the team, well, this season is nearly on ice for the Predators. It's a bloody shame. The team had dominated most of the play for most of the games. I suspect just having to travel to Pittsburgh, which is the birthplace of many American football players, is the cause of death.

Pittsburgh wins the Cup. People booed. It was a dreadful game. Refs imported from France for their first ever try at officiating made things worse than usual right away. Ref blows the whistle in the middle of a play that ended up with the puck in the net. No goal. No chance of it ever being righted. Totally changed the game, the series, and the season for one team--THE LOSING TEAM. Professional sport is business. And business is good so long as the right people are winning the Cup. Go team $$$$$es.
