How to steal a series or Gary Bettman is ruining his trousers right now

April 29, 2009

Martin Brodeur might be thinking that life is a fraud after tonight.

It seemed like Brian Rolston‘s crazy slap shot goal was going to allow the Eastern Conference to fall in 1-2-3-4 order until Tim Gleason‘s sprawling play kept the puck in the zone for the Hurricanes, which allowed Joni Pitkanen to set up Jussi Jokinen (of all fucking people) for a stunning game tying goal.

Then, out of nowhere, Eric Staal scored the series clinching goal with a little more than 30 seconds left in the game. Just a stunning series of events that ended an incredible (and odd) season for the New Jersey Devils.

With that, Gary Bettman‘s devil horns are probably ejaculating at the thought of a Ovechkin-Crosby clash (yes, we know Malkin exists but we know how this series will be marketed). The Capitals-Penguins series surely will bring out a trolling onslaught like we’ve never seen before.

Get your helmets, kids. Shit’s about to get real.
