I think Klay Key is remarking upon the flowery verbosity.

“What is it about this rivalry that causes middle-aged, silver-haired men in red t-shirts to leap out of their recliners at game‚Äôs end and extend not one but two middle fingers at a TV screen image of a 21-year-old, sulking Nova Scotian dressed in black and gold? I haven‚Äôt the answer, but may it continue for at least a millennium.”
May it continue indeed! (This, by the way, is one of the greatest paragraphs ever penned in the history of sports journalism. Bravo!)

Klay must be a Pens fan.

I spoke to a friend of mine after the game – he lives in Pittsburgh and has Pens seasons tix. I’ve known him for fifteen years, and I’ve never, NEVER heard him anywhere near as dispirited, despondent, and downright flatlined as he was last night. Just devastated that his team so utterly failed to bear down when they had the advantage and finish us off. Rest assured, we did some serious damage to their psyche.

I laughed out loud at the dual single-fingered salute image; it’s a vital part of my repertoire. In fact, I practiced it at the Arena last night, in clear disregard for my well being, after Gordon’s goal was deemed good. A dick move on my part, but it felt so good.
It was surreal to see Gordon sailing around the goal, arms raised, and play continuing. Fleury was stunned; the goal light came on for the very briefest of milliseconds, fueling my beer-addled assessment that we had scored but were going to get screwed. What a relief.

We think alike. The title for my article was basically the same. Great game all around, and I hope this kind of performance gets people to give Fleischmann some slack. He had an unbelievable night.

In response to that Halpern playoff GWG in 2001, I lept out of a couch, and my head met violently with a plaster wall. Of course, in that moment, I felt no pain.
My good friend commented last night that it might have been even more demoralizing to the Pens and their fans, hence satisfying for us, had the Pens scored during that meaningless late third-period stretch, waiting for the goal to be confirmed.

Seriously, were you looking in my basement window last night? My t-shirt wasn’t exactly red, it was more of a maroon.
