The unhinged giddiness of a one game winning streak on the line. The giddy unhingedness of a game between two one-win-streak wonders meeting each other for the last time in a rink steeped in hockey heritage and bad sight lines. So much on the line, not enough on and over the goal line. For us. Again.
I blame the USA. Why not? Everyone else does. If only Canadian teams were allowed in the NHL our current playoff prospects would be better than any other NHL team. Located in the Lower Mainland. But, sour octopuses aside, this season has been one of streaks.
