| Does anybody sing, "Here Come the Lightning?" |
But
I’d rather not drop to the same juvenile level of actor Emilio Estevez’
temperament, who reacted to the fact that the Anaheim Ducks’ hockey franchise
managed to drag the NHL playoffs matchup to a seventh-and-final game.
THAT
GAME WAS played Saturday night, and the Blackhawks managed to pull off a 5-3
victory, meaning they will advance to the Stanley Cup finals, where they will
play the Tampa Bay Lightning for the NHL championship.
Estevez
apparently was rooting for the suburban Los Angeles franchise to make it to the
Stanley Cup finals, and expressed that viewpoint by being one of those annoying
people who express their enthusiasm by forgetting to take their finger off the
CAPS key when sending out their e-mails or writing their Twitter tweets.
So
we’re spared the thought of what could very easily have been – a Stanley Cup championship
for bragging rights for the best hockey team in the world being played by
Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fla., and Anaheim, Calif. Only somebody who thought the “Mighty
Ducks” films weren’t totally trite could get excited about that matchup.
Blackhawks
can now get all the more worked up as they try beginning Wednesday for their
sixth Stanley Cup victory ever, and their third in the past six seasons. So, Here Come the Hawks!
