Anyone watching the Stanley Cup finals?

He looked like he was almost going to start tearing up during his post-game interview.
That was tough to watch.
Then he started listing all of the 'What-Ifs' and 'Could Have Beens' in response. Man oh man. He feels horrible.
Destiny has a cruel sense of humor.

I dont feel bad for him at all. He did nothing to help his team win in the final round.

That was one of those 0.5 seconds feeling his pain.

You know, the kind you sorta get no matter what unless your hate for the team or guy is so intense that nothing gets in the way. Its the balancing act of emotions.

I deal with that a lot being a Canadian and living in San Jose is tough.
For the NHL I obviously cheer for the Sharks and anything they do. Often times though, I find myself not really siding with the opposition but at least publicly acknowledging their talents.
Roloson of the Oilers is a good recent example. He was playing in net for Team Canada in the most recent Worlds. For that game, I was cheering the heck out of him.
When he dons the Oilers jersey though, its nothing but foul-mouthed hatred going his way with his 'accidental mask falling off to stop play BS'.

Ya know. That kind of thing.
Is there one player I hate no matter what?!?!?
Raffi Torres (cheap shot artist supreme) can perhaps fall into that category.

Mine is Claude Lemieux. I will never forget him for smashing Kris Drapers face into the bench boards.
