CBJ @ NYR: 3-2 WIN.

I missed the first five minutes or so of the game, and when we turned it on, we were already down 2-0. (And I couldn't tell you who scored for the Rangers. Was Jagr one? I'm not sure, and I'm a little too lazy at the moment to go check.)

...Wow, did I have flashbacks to Thursday. It was like reliving a nightmare.

So here I am, all ready to lose. And then, what's this? An Anders Erikkson goal? You mean there is such a thing?

At this point, I'm still pretty sure we're gonna lose, 'cause...You know...It's kind of what we seem to do best, anymore. [/jaded] Not to mention we started playing our "LET'S ALL GET STUPID PENALTIES!" game again. Well, at least this obviously won't be as bad as a loss as Thursday's. Because, you know, we've actually scored in this one.

And then, what? A shorthanded goal by Jason Chimera? Really? Are you serious? It's tied? ...You're joking right? You're not? Wow! We may have a chance!

A few more penalties...Then...

Another shorthanded goal? This time by Rick Nash? Come on, this has to be a joke. Or a really good dream. Either way, it can't be real. What? It is? We're winning? ...Wow.

We managed to hold them off during the whole third period, during which, Fredrik Norrena made a wonderful showing of why he is being called Steady Freddy by Jeff Rimer and Danny Gare.

Lemme just state for the record that this totally didn't make up for Thursday's disgusting showing. Or non-showing, is more like it.

But. It did restore a little bit of my faith in humanity. Just a little however. Because we've still got a long way to go.

Final Score: 3-2
BLUE JACKETS WIN.
