Because, in my opinion, REAL sports fanatics have their favorite teams, but their obsession with the sport is driven just as strongly by their hatred of the "bad guys". Of course fairweather fans and espcially sports journalists can actually remain detached and objective enough to enjoy a game no matter the result. But true fans couldn't care less if it is a 5-4 shootout or a 2-0 yawnfest ... all they want to know is: Did the good guys win? Or more importantly: Did the bad guys lose? My point: Being able to appreciate a dramatic game even though the team you were seriously cheering for didn't win proves you are too objective a thinker to be a serious fan. And the Bully is obiously a fan. How can you be a serious, obsessed fan of hockey and appreciate the quality of the game despite the outcome of the game?

We appreciate it. Brind'Amour (received for Primeaudonna) Williams (received for Markov) Keep making trades like that with us, please? And how can anybody who calls himself a hockey fan not appreciate what a great game Game 1 was? Seriously.
