Ok, I had a hard time stomaching the loss last night. But as I grappled with it, I realized some things that I had not considered. I am very afraid of 0-8. Almost all of the hockey I watched last year was meaningless. These games still count, and it is really important to win some games that actually count towards keeping the CBJ in the race. And we get the Stanley Cup runner-ups next, so the sledding isn't getting easier.
So when I looked at Boston, I saw a team that didn't make the playoffs, and thought they might be our only chance for an early win (not to say they are a bad team, they just didn't make the playoffs).
