playoffs are great ... the emotion a playoff series is second to none.
My 13 year old has never experienced this. Was 7 when they were in the playoffs and doesn't really have that "feel". Tonight he's going, which is essentially his first game.
To watch him depressed when the Flames were down in game 1, to elated they won, to thinking the Flames were dust after game 2, to thinking they can't lose after game three is both a blast to watch, and a big explanation point to drill home how we all rock back and forth in a series.
Calgary looked so inferior in game 2 that I had to admit it felt like "the Canucks awoke" or "the Flames were figuered out."
After game three it was the opposite.
I've given up on predicting this mess, just glad Calgary only needs to be .500 in the final 4 games to win this thing.
Really hoping the kid gets a win to see tonight though.
