the real reason that dion's not playing tonight is that keenan is pissed he got himself injured in chicago. it's a "slightly unhealthy" scratch, in my opinion... the herald has keenan quoted as follows:
"[Dion], unfortunately, put himself into a position that was even more vulnerable than the one he was in a second before he got hit," explained Keenan. "He moved himself from a non-vulnerable position to a very vulnerable position -- he got popped pretty good."
keenan continued, of dion's regrettable collision with ben eager in saturday night's game, "A) the player should know who's on the ice, and B) you should protect yourself. That's part of your responsibility as a professional athlete."
okay, FINE... i'm TOTALLY lying. obviously these are the quotes from keenan discussing gio's injury at the hands of cal clutterbuck back in february, but he could easily have blamed dion for having his head down in game 5.... MORE easily, i would say, than publically digging into gio for making the right play....
i don't think i'll ever get past those words, and why i'm already looking for keenan's head. and sutter's, too... even if we win tonight (and we might), and even if we miraculously win this series (and, we... uh... could) i want a clean gutting of the coaching staff AT MINIMUM. how jimmy playfair still has a job here is beyond me (and further reason for a sutter sacking)... posts upcoming on all of this (i'm still trying to get the homework done)....
i'm attending the game once again (cause i am the most fortunate girl in the entire world, in this capacity) and will be going double gio: the brand new gio T (see yesterday's post) under the gio jersey...
will the 08/09 flames live to see another game ? or will this be the last time i get to boo-tuzzi in the 'dome ?
fingers crossed... for what ? i'm not even sure anymore....
