I'm not happy about the loss that the Montreal Caandiens suffered last night.
I am given to being down in the mouth when results are what I was hoping for.
And the more that I like a team, or in the international events, a country, the harder it is for me to watch.
Now I pvred the game because I missed the beginning of it as I was travelling through time but had I not learned the result accidentally I would be watching the game now.
But I learned it as I learned it and I am discouraged as the weight of recent playoff history is completely in favour of the Flyers as they have won the last two series and are half the damn way to winning a third straight series after winning 10 of the last 13 playoff games against the Habs.
And in the previous two series, the Habs won the first game in 2008 in overtime, won the third game in 2010 with a convincing result and to this point in this series, won game two in an even more convincing fashion.
Yet because of this recent history and the comppete level of the Flyers, the question has to be asked, have the Habs won their lone game of the series against their against a team that built a great record towards the end of the season?
Still, this is unexpected esperience for the young players like Nick Suzuki and Jeperi Kotkaniemi and we often learn more from losing than winning yes?
But winning would be sweeter, especially against the Flyers who've won back to back series when the Habs had good
teams.
Especially in 2010 whne they played their way to the Conference Finals.
Sigh. What might have been if they had played the Bruins eh?
Though we can't forget that 2010 was sandwiched around series win by the Bruins over the Candiens, one a 4-0 sweep to close out the Habs' first decade without a Cup ever.
The series in 2011 was seven games and the Habs wins were ones that were never in doubt. Their losses however could have gone the other way and it would have been the Habs who would have stopped the Bruins from having their chance at glory that ended a long streak of futility that included 5 straight Cup Final losses in 1974, 1977, 1978, 1988 and 1990.
One was to the Flyers as they won their first of their only two championships. Yeah, I'm casting shade att the Flyers while they are half the way to eliminating them after eking out two one goal wins.
The next two were losses to the Habs as they embarked on their last run of greatness that began with their victory over the Flyers and ended with a victory over the Rangers
1988 and 1990 were against the Oilers, one with Gretzky as the face and the other with Messier as the face. Also the last time the Oilers won.
500 words and counting, that's a good start, but 5000 words and counting is not the end, though with time passed since, it sure feels like the end.
I just have to rhyme a verse to bring Byron Prestwick to Mavranyr and see what's happening in Paraveedun.
Neither of these thing are what I feel very strong about doing becaue of the onset of fatigue, but it's going to be done.
I shook my head in the affirmative and quickly put my muscles to use then. On the lookout for each and every single person looking their mercy for I cannot away myself and leave you to be devoured. So please, no more foolishness please.” He said said, like he was pleading with me for me to save my own life. Surely it couldn't be that bad could it?
I didn't write in the 2nd quarter today and I've harvested less at the start of today's 3rd than I did at yesterday's though based on the strength of yesterday's 4th, I'm back to feeling the swagger that helped me harvest more than a thousand fields last year.
Of course, that swagger doesn't automatically bring with it a good harvest.
I still have to write the words.
And I haven't written that many this quarter, though yesterday's 3rd quarter.
I'm also not in the mood for storying but the kind of practice that feels like it's ready to pour out of my fingers is of the good kind like hockey or something of the like.
I wonder if Peach will ever be more than a series of covers to a hypothetical publication.
At this point in time that is highly improbable.
Okay, it's downright impossible.
Sigh.
“Wait, don't I know you?” I asked as there appeared before me a giant bar of goodness that I recognized but didn't know the name of, which was a frequent happening for me that I didn't like, but there it was.
“I am Sabridad, loosely translated as Tasty Good, but that was the name of my youth and Sabridad rings truer to my ears so you will address me as Sabridad and not Tasty Good. I trust I won't have to repeat this because that would make make me cross and you don't want to see me when I'm cross Little Peach.” He said with a smirk. As he looked down at me enjoying his height advantage much to much, like it was what he needed.
Wow!
The Colorado Avalanche are taking it it to the Arizona Coyotes!
It's 7-1 in the 3rd and the Avs are going to be up 3 games to 1 after this game.
The Coyotes look to be done, though plenty of teams have come back from being down 3 games to 1.
But that's not going to be the story of this year's Coyotes.
Is that what is going to happen to the Habs tomorrow?
I hope not.
Go Habs go!
You can't lose another series to the Flyers in five!
Though that doesn't mean it won't happen.
Sigh.
Wow I'm overdrank on the Coca-Cola and need to go half of what I'm drinking now.
Ohhh.
I am not feeling pain, but I won't need to eat or drink for the next 12 hours.
I will eat and drink before then but I certainly don't need to.
And the way I'm feeling, I am so not going to harvest three fields today and likely won't even harvest two, which based on how I killed it last nigh is something that I should have been able to do.
Oh well.
It is what it is eh.
I've hit the final two hours of the day and I have to harvest how many rows to make it a three field day?
Okay, I have to harvest more than 18 rows in less than two hours.
That's a lot of harvesting
And the Bruins just scored to make it 2-1 as they trail early in the 3rd.
Not that who wins matters to the Canadiens who first have to win past the Flyers which hasn't been done since 1989.
Oh wow, it's 2-2 now. That makes it a brand new game.
The Bruins are going to score again too. Maybe twiice more.
So the Hurricanes need to score next or they'll be buried in a bad period.
Well, worse than it's become in the last five minutes.
And it just got worse as the Bruins scored the third of the third.
The Hurricanes are toast as this win is going to put the Bruins up 3 games to 1.
Unless the Hurricanes can get it back in less than three minutes.
But I'll be surprised if they can do that.
Well, they did get a goal back so they're only down by one. The problem is they have to score in under 40 seconds.
They ain't coming back.
Bruins are up 3 games to 1.
So much for the streak of three fields harvested days that I was hoping to start yesterday.
Yeah, that ain't gonna happen tonight. But it's not because I didn't write in the 2nd. I''d have had to match what I did in the first for that chance.
Ugh.
And even that would only guarantee that I had crossed past the harvesting of two fields, which I can still accomplish but I'm going to have to get to the writing harder than I have.
Maybe I have to take the loss and redouble my efforts tomorrow.
I could draw instead.
I'm not going to drop in on Mortuvhen that's a certainty.
And have I dropped into Paraveedun today?
Not since this morning anf I'm not feeling the story now.
Though that shouldn't be a thing right?
The St. Louis Blues just opened the scroing against the Vancouver Canucks and if they win the game, theries will be tied at two.
Of course, they did win the Stanley Cup last year so they shouldn't be an easy to oust team.
Well, this was not the 4th quarter that I needed.
But I didn't do the work to make it the kind of quarter that I needed.
And now I have less than 10m minutes left to harvest.
So what did I do?
Not very much at all.
Kuuanonnii.
