My goodness.
As I read Jenny’s recap last night and the mention of 22 blown third-period leads, I heard Principal Ed Rooney from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” underlining nine times.
Twenty-two. That’s how many games this season the Isles have blown third-period leads, or more than twice the number of absences Ferris had before he hacked into the computer server and — oh, y’all who are two young to know that movie (it came out the year before Mike Bossy officially retired) are also too young to understand just how nuclear-submarine-advanced a hack like that sounded at the time.
