A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF CALGARY:
YER GOIN’ HOME.
The Daily News
1 WHEW!
2 I tried writing the DN last night and was frozen in time watching the Sharks/Flames game.
3 All I could write at the end of the first period was WHEW.
4 So I decided at the end of the first period to report all of it LIVE, beginning immediately!
5 How brave is THAT?
6 Anyway, we’re back to the Stanley Cup playoffs, so this DN is back on heart attack mode.
7 It’s funny because I work off a laptop, which I rarely have on my lap.
8 It’s more on the end of the sofa, and I lean a little.
9 After a fashion, my big ol’ tree trunks start to bend, like a fine oak.
10 I’m bent just so, and my joints start to crack and ache. But I will report this game LIVE as it unwinds before me. So this will be a blow-by-blow account of the 7th game.
So here goes:
11 Owen Nolan just tried to cheat. He kicked a goal, like it was soccer.
12 Sorry Charlie.
13 WHAT?!?!?!?!? They counted it!!! That’s boushit.
14 Can the Sharks show any character? They need to step it up and score right now.
15 This is LIVE coverage direct from my living room.
16 Setaguchi SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
17 Karma.
