Regarding last night's final EIP update, this:
The day after - 05-13-10
Hey, look at that. The sun still came up!"This" being an extensive postmortem from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I do believe I've read these very same things before, only elsewhere. The names have changed but the circumstances and the excuses are pretty much the same ol', same ol'.
The thing that makes me laugh is all the "they were tired after sooo many games they played the last three years" BS press the Flightless Birds are getting. So? Do we know another team that might be in this same boat, only worse? And by worse I mean the Flightless Birds went out in the first round in 2007 (4-1)... while the Beloved Wings lost the WCF in six games that same year. But still... out is out. For whatever reason.
BUT THE SUN CAME UP FROM THE WEST!!11!!!
ReplyDeleteJust kiddin' ya!
Excuses are pretty much the same...
ReplyDeleteBingo. No matter who loses, the home team press always rolls out the "too many games, too many injuries, too much off-ice adversity, too young, too old, etc." No biggie, I guess. Much of it is true much of the time, and they have to write SOMEthing, but simply tipping the hat to the better team would be a refreshing change.
WV: Bromurf. Smurfz 'n the 'Hood, anyone?
Darryl: It prooly felt that way to Pens fans.
ReplyDeleteAndy: Eventually it comes down to those hat-tips, but not at first. Human nature and all that...
