I hadn't really missed the NHL season, or so I told myself. In part, I find the arguments between millionaire players and even richer owners to be obnoxious. Couple that with the fact that the local Washington Capitals aren't exactly a cream-of-the-crop team, and I've been feeling extremely ambivalent about the lack of hockey this season. Last fall, I held out some hope that following my college hockey team would satisfy any cravings I had for hockey. Unfortunately, the Golden Knights haven't been so golden this season (or last season, for that matter), finishing 9th in a twelve team conference.
I made the mistake of checking the playoff scores earlier this afternoon. The Knights won (in overtime) on Friday night and then lost last night (another overtime game). The series is tied, and a little while ago, I realized that it should be the middle of the third period in the decisive game in this series. I suddenly find myself really wishing I could watch this game. I just checked the score, and the Knights are winning 3-2. Another close game. I could keep refreshing my browser to keep up with the game status until its over, but that would be a drag. I'd much rather watch the game. Actually, at this point, I'd be happy watching any hockey game.
Anyway, I hope the Golden Knights win. This is their last chance to redeem a terrible season (12-21-3), though I can't really expect that they'll win the conference title from the 9th seed. I only wish I could actually watch some of these games.
