I not only find it strange that this was your interpretation of my response to ---Hattrick---, I find it equally odd that you read his comment as a "nervous nelly post."
Let's review in context. Here was the first comment posted by Ducay...

I agree with everything here. Tonight's game is important, there are points on the line, and there is a big difference between facing off against VGK and one of the Wildcard teams in the playoffs.
To which ---Hattrick--- responded...

The thesis in my post appears in the second sentence. It is odd that anyone could miss it...

Where in my post do I impugn others for being nervous? The entire point of my comment was to call out HYPERBOLE. I have yet to see anyone suggest that a playoff series with VGK would be a "walk in the park." Somewhere between "nervous" and "walk in the park" is a whole gamut of emotion. ---Hattrick---'s post is a consummate straw man. That is the entire point I was raising.
