At least it wasn't Eager who had the series winning goal.

Really though, The Pronger should have won the Conn Smythe...except for those last two stinkers....

See folks, here is where having two teams comes in handy. Though I was happy that the Flyers were in the Final, I wasn't completely emotionally invested. That decreased emotional investment has saved me from a lot of pain this morning! Bummed that they lost, but not heartbroken. Yay me and my messed up fandom.

Seeing the Pens lose this year honestly made me happier than anything else that happened after that! Seeing the Pens win the Cup last year, and seeing Sidney woohoo with the Cup made me more sick to my stomach than seeing the Hawks hoist the Cup in our barn. I know that makes me a bad Flyers fan, but I can probably live with that.

Why Eager, why?!?!


You all knew it was going to happen, right? I heard Eager's name a few too many times in the first period, and I knew for sure he was going to score. I even refrained from saying it out loud or posting it on twitter, hoping maybe I could avoid the jinx. But nooooooooo. Ben Eager, namesake of this blog. Ben Eager, philly fan favorite. Ben Eager, tough guy, crazy eyed goon type. Ben Eager scored a fucking game winning goal against the Flyers in a Stanley Cup Final game.

That just sucks.
