Doomsberry’s Stanley Cup Finals Primer
05/28/07 at 10:00 AM ET | Comments (0)
For two straight seasons I’ve been trying to tell Wing fans that there is nothing good about the playoffs. This has been a tough concept to grasp for many people. More than a few have written me with these exact words: “Shut up.” I’m pretty sure all 216 of those emails were referencing my “the playoffs suck” theme.
But I’ve had at least one co-sponsor of the Bill to Ban the Playoffs, and that would be my friend Doomsberry. For years he’s brought Wing fans back down to reality with a type of pessimism only he can muster. It’s time, I believe, to unleash him on the rest of the hockey world. You all definitely deserve it.

from KK member Doomsberry,
As the Stanley Cup finals begin I fear that fans of both teams have plenty to worry about. While Ottawa will be ducking flocks of pucks, Anaheim will be debating how Ottawa laid down the law on them. While fans in 28 cities have put their worries behind them for the year, Sens and Ducks fans will be in a fully agitated state for the next couple of weeks. Those that have prepared properly will survive, while those who allow optimism to create a state of giddiness will suffer later as their hopes are dashed. My advice to fans from both cities is to let pessimism be their guide. When your team is one of only two left standing, this is not an easy task. Certainly this is not the time of the season to be enjoying the games. When your team is in the finals, and Lord Stanley’s chalice is within their grasp, it is time for some serious pessimism, some strong questioning of what quirks of fate await your team, which strange occurrences will result in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
