The Senators vs the Lightning in the first round.
Ottawa has had their normal strong regular season, which makes me stupidly confident that they can go far in the play-offs. Yes, I am a deluded fool.
But Tampa has Martin St. Louis, and as the Number 1 representative of Very Short People in the NHL, he commands and receives my utmost respect and admiration. So I hate to be against him. On the other hand, he is the enemy, so if he is responsible for ousting the Senators in the first round (and what a surprise that won’t be should it happen) I’ll have to curse his name and weakly shake my fist at him.
This being said, do I have to keep supporting the Senators*, knowing full well they can self-destruct in the first round and break my heart yet again? It’s the déjà vu of being an Expos fan, all over again. Why do I stay in the abusive post-season marriage? Ottawa is so good all year and then, come the play-offs, it’s pffffft lunchbag letdown. And, yet, hope springs eternal…
*Yes, I am ignoring the local team. I have to. I don’t hate the local team but I do hate their moronic fans. Therefore the local team is not on my radar.
