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!  |
My biggest fit of rage was at the exact same moment as yours. I was working at Safeway at the time of Game 7 vs. the Nucks in '04. Since there were no customers in the store (Because the game was on!) all the employees and I were watching the game at the front of the store. When Cooke scored I swore loudly, then quickly went into the back and destroyed all the cardboard boxes that were stacked in a neat pile. My shift ended pretty much right after the 3rd period, I was hoping to make it home for OT. As I was driving home I heard Peter Maher's game call of Gelinas ending it and I almost drove off the road into a lamp post celebrating. I have to say it was the quickest transformation from anger to pure joy I've every had in my life.
