We all have had occasions when we get so revved up and excited about a certain event. I don't know, maybe you had been eyeing and fantasizing over a woman in your office for 13 months thinking of the right thing to say to her to woo her but then she asks you for the time one day and you drool all over your tie. Or you are on your fourth date with someone and she decides to go home with you then you get her in the bed and then after 3 seconds - DOWN GOES FRAZIER, DOWN GOES FRAZIER !!! Well game 7 last night proved to be that as, after 8 seconds, the Washington Capitals were done.
It was in that 8 seconds that first Sidney Crosby shot a quick flick-of-the-wrist goal and then before you could say LET ME GO TINKLE REAL QUICK BEFORE PLAY STARTS AGAIN, the Pittsburgh Penguins had scored again. And it was at that moment that all of the air was let out of the collective Verizon Center tire. Alex Ovechkin, who Pittsburgh did a great job of defensing in the deciding game, did manage to sneak the puck past the glove of Marc-Andre' Fleury in the 2nd period. But by then, it was a little too late and the Pens would skate on to a 6-2 victory. Leaving the usually boisterous Verizon Center crowd, sounding as quiet as a Sunday morning mass. And the game that this town was so excited for proved to be very anti-climactic.
So the moral of this story is ... before you get too excited...try to maintain your composure so that excitement doesn't come too quick and you're not sitting there blown after just 8 seconds.
