Before tonight's hockey game I briefly considered live-blogging it - keeping a constantly updated running account as it progressed, for anyone who might be unfamiliar with the term. I decided not to bother, as is obvious. I suppose if I had it would've run a pretty broad gamut of emotions. Nervousness early in the game, as the general pre-game consensus was that the Rangers would have to weather a heavy early storm from the Slugs; developing confidence as Lundqvist played strongly and the Rangers had some chances of their own; frustration with an anemic (abysmal, even) power play; nervousness as Fedor Tyutin, Marek Malik and then Jaromir Jagr all got dinged up over the course of the first and second periods; excitement when Marty Straka gave the Rangers the late lead; nervousness again as the Rangers scrambled to hold the lead; deflation when the game got tied up, and... man, I am just gutted right now. The Rangers were SO close to taking a 3-2 lead back to MSG for a possible clincher on Sunday, and instead our backs are to the wall.
SO close.
