Missing: Hockey Gods

Missing: HOCKEY GODS
Situation: Well we remember game 6 where Mr. Nathan Horton was involved in some controversy http://robinsnest-yoro.blogspot.com/2011/05/possible-suspension-for-bruins-for-game.html. Once again, he wasn't suspended for doing something written explicitly in the NHL rule book. Well how does he get re-compensated for his actions in game 6? WHAT???? A GAME WINNING GOAL TO PROPEL HIS TEAM TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS?!?!?!?! WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!

Yes. Believe it or not, Nathan Horton continued his timely goal scoring this postseason with the only goal in game 7 in the 3rd period and because of him, Boston made it to the Stanley Cup Finals defeating the Lightning in 7 games.

This type of thing kind of makes you scratch your head. How someone can succeed after such a childish immature act. 

In the mean time, while the hockey gods ignored their duty with Nathan Horton (just received word tonight, the day after game 7, that Horton was fined an undisclosed amount. Pfff. Big deal. That's like receiving a free Porsche but you have to pay for the tires. He just made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm sure he doesn't mind paying a small sum), they ignored another chance to do good. Tampa Bay Surperstar, Steven Stamkos, was struck in the head with a puck during the second period of game 7. Stamkos went down immediately and skated off the ice in a bloody mess. Well hockey is toughest sport on earth with BY FAR the most competitive and tough players. Stamkos barely missed a shift and was back on the ice just 5 minutes later wearing a cage on his mask.

Now let me ask you something. Wouldn't it be fitting that a player who gives it his all, and plays through a brutal injury such as Steven Stamkos', wouldn't it be fitting that HE is the one to score a game winning goal? This would be the perfect scenario for a fairy tale-type team to make it to the finals. Just look at these photos of Stamkos and tell me he didn't deserve to win based on suffering alone:


 But the hockey gods disappeared on us and now the Boston Bruins, the diving hypocrites, are in the Stanley Cup Finals.

I only have three more words for our sake:

GO CANUCKS GO!
