Dear Hockey Gods, Will the Wrong Team Stop Losing?

[lifeonqueen]

You have no idea how unpleasant it will be for me if the Sens make the playoffs. Not to mention that we already have two teams from south of the snow line in the conference semis and you're making me choose between a third and rooting for Vancouver. That's is just cruel, guys. At least the Sabres squeaked through, even if the hockey was less than brilliant. Now, about the Calgary/Detroit series... You know how I love Jarome Iginla - enought to root for Calgary - but I love the Wings, too. We've been together 10 years and while nothing will ever been quite the same as those awesome Cup years of the 90s, I thought we had a real future together. But you took on Bertuzzi, guys, Bertuzzi.

And, y'know, I still love you, Detroit. I'm still hoping we can get together at the Joe Louis and have a few beers sometime in the future but not while you're with him - it's a line I just won't cross. So, please, Hockey Gods, if you could - Calgary over Detroit tonight, please?
