GFY Toronto!
December 19, 2008
I’ve been forced to put the entire city of Toronto on notice. Last night my Blue Jackets travelled to Dallas, after defeating the best team in the NHL at home, in overtime the night before. Dallas sucks, but whenever you play the second of back to back games on the road, nothing is set in stone. The game went to overtime, 5-5. 13 secs. in, my man manny malhotra broke full speed towards the Dallas net, fired a shot off of their goalie, who was lungng forward. In order to avoid a stoppage of play, manny had to try and dive over the goalie, and out of the way, keeping the play alive for one of his teamates following him up, to finish it. The puck bunced off of manny’s skate, as he was parrallel to the ice, looking nowhere close to the puck. A miracle, it bounced into the back of the net. Goal! Game over, chris can go to sleep happy. As the Blue jackets celebrated, the officials got on the phone to the league office in Toronto, to review the play. This is done whenever a puck is sent into the net by anything but a players stick, and on any goal that is close to not crossing the line. This was a no brainer. The rule says, there must be a distinct kicking motion, to overturn a goal scored off of a players skate. Manny’s feet were moving away from the momentum of his body, game over. No. The shitheads in Toronto screwed the jackets, taking away a win, an extra point, and giving all the momentum to Dallas. The stars basically got a do-over on a game they lost. Sloppy seconds, as some of their former players like to call it. Overtime ended in a fake tie, forcing a shootout. Dallas, at home, more rested, with their first goalie. Columbus, having played the night before, halfway accross the country, and already having won the game once, was using their back-up goalie. We lost it in the shoot-out. That was as shitty of a call as you will find. All I can say is, “Go Fuck Yourself Toronto”
