Broke my remote after that third goal...haven't done anything like that in at least 10 years.
That's the thing about Anaheim. Yah they have been statistically the better team over the term of this "curse". But it's not like we get totally dominated. Tonight, like several other of these 29 straight losses, we were the better team. Just like Game 1, this game came down to a handful of key mistakes or bad bounces. Over the course of a regular season or a playoff series, those things tend to even out. For some reason, it does not ever "even out" in that building.
I'm pissed about the reffing, the inexplicable non goal, Elliott's softies on the first two goals, Johnny not shooting the puck (!!!!), and Bouma's brain cramp own goal. But what really burns me is the complete lack of puck luck in that god forsaken arena.
