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.
