6 seconds...

Game 5

Six seconds.

That's all.

Six seconds and we would have walked out of MSG with a win, taking control of the series and heading back to DC to try and clench the series.

Six damn seconds. But if you know the game, six seconds is often an eternity. And in this case the game changer. It was just long enough for the Rangers to score, forcing an overtime.

I can't lie, even the morning after the Overtime loss I am beyond words. A little pissed. Drained...I couldn't even bring myself to watch the OT, as soon as the regulation was over I knew the Rangers would finish it off.

After the game I sat there with my husband, just a little beyond pissed. I mean we were six seconds away. I just couldn't believe we let it go like that. I cursed. I cried. I was overly dramatic...Even my husband was quite pissed at just how much I was 'over-reacting.' to the loss. I didn't want to be, but I couldn't help it. I am pretty sure I didn't know about a lot of things at the moment.  I spewed things off left and right. Things I didn't even mean...yes I was heartbroken. Beyond heartbroken at the loss for some reason. Yes I knew it was just one game and in all truth we have lost more than one or two games in the series. But for some reason this one just hurt ten times worse than the others. And I was feeling every emotion I could possibly feel at that moment. We ere soooo damn close. This was our game. We were going to win it...

 Seriously.

And my poor husband who kept trying to tell me that it was alright, they still hadn't won the series, there was still one game they had to win, and you better believe we were going to respond...Well he tried to tell me everything is going to be fine.

It only seemed to make things hurt ten times worse. Even the morning after the loss and I am still finding it hard to even think about it. Talk about it...I know in the end it wasn't and isn't the all....I know we still have tomorrow to get through and I know, if this series has taught me anything its the fact that the boys aren't going to just hand them the series easily. In fact, I am willing to think there is most dif going to be a game 7 once again.

And the Rangers have the pressure now. They have to finish us off....not the other way around.

Still, it doesn't make last nights loss any easier and I really didn't want to write this as my loss of words are making it hard to think so positive at the moment.

So lets move on, lets regroup, rethink and prepare. For tomorrow is a whole new day...and new game.

Lets go boys.
