A Sense Of Finality
Tonight could very well be the end of the National Hockey Leauge's season.
Game five of the Stanley Cup finals is slated for tonight at Raleigh's RBC Center, with the home team leading the series three games to one.
A win by the Hurricanes ends the "relaunch" season of the NHL that began on October 5, 2005 - with the hopes of every team dashed except for the Caniacs in the Carolinas.
The hockey season won't be fully over, though, until tomorrow at the earliest - something I hope I don't personally have to witness.
Game six of the Calder Cup playoffs is slated for Thursday night in Milwaukee, with the visiting Hershey Bears up three games to two in the series.
It's not impossible that the Admirals could win both Thursday and Saturday to win the Cup, but it's a daunting task, based on their play over the first five games of the series.
Either way, after Saturday night it will likely be all over.
I miss it already.
