Reading is fundamental. I clearly said I don't WANT them to lose. I said IF they are destined to lose then I hope it's a sweep so that management gets the point.
As for it being "one game", no it's not. It's 35 years of "one game" for me. It's the entire Ovechkin era of "one game". It's not getting out of the second round in 20 years. It's one cup final in a 44 year history. It's all that frustration and heartbreak. It's knowing what looms in the second round if we somehow win this series. .....it's not "one game".
Damn right!
The absolute worst that can happen is a game seven loss in the second, even the first, because the carrot will stay in place and the Kool Aid will just get stronger.
But even a sweep/ 4-1 epic-fail probably won’t be enough for Monumental to get the point. They already have their excuses “lots of young players, exceeded expectations, hot/cold goalies, puck luck, etc.”
It’s the rest of the fans that need to get the message. More and more need to start calling Monumental Entertainment out on their bullshit and throwing their Kool Aid back in their face instead of just drinking it like their cult leaders tell them.
