Last night's game was disappointing for sure, but let's move on to the next opponent and next game.
Wait, what? The Blues play the Wild tonight, again? Argh. Here's hoping we get more than 1 point tonight.
Speaking of picking up only 1 point, does anyone else lose five years of her [or his] life every shootout? I know I do.

If this post lacks pizazz and enthusiasm, it's because I'm still distraught over the game last night.
