By far my worst:
2004 playoffs. Round 1. Game 7. It's been 15 years since the Flames have won a playoff round. Probably 15 to 20 of my closest friends and family are at our house watching the game. As everyone knows, the Flames are up by 1 with seconds left. Iginla blows a tire, Canucks go end to end and score with mere seconds remaining. In that moment, the 15 years of anticipation that had been built in my mind transferred into all out rage. I got up and threw our Shaw remote as hard as I could across the room, hitting a brick wall. It was in at least 2 dozens pieces, and everyones attention had shifted from the TV to me, and the remote. All I could think of to say at the time was, "those aren't built strong enough." Given the same set of circumstances, I can't say I wouldn't act in the same way again. I was really angry. Obviously it was all for nothing, as we won anyways!  |
I felt pretty much the same way. That has to have been one of the most deflating moments of my life, I simply couldn't believe it and figured our best chance was gone as of that point. I simply walked upstairs, sat in my room and chain smoked as I looked out the bedroom window looking at nothing really. Just sat there steaming.......half our later I was downtown hanging out my roommates cars sunroof waiving a massive Flames flag in a massive sea of cars on 17th.
Funny how things can turn 180 degrees in a half hour.
