Just a few days ago we were talking about the potential problem he'd have if both the Stars, his adopted team, and the Flyers, his inherited team, won their respective conference finals and faced each other for the Stanley Cup. What would happen? Would his head simply explode? Would he be forced to retreat back to da 2-1-5 to save face? Or would he just crap his pants? (My money is on option 3.) One way or the other he would be forced to Benedict Arnold one of his teams.
Well, there's good news and bad news on that front. Or, as they say in Redskins Park, "I've got amazing news and utterly unbelievably amazing news." The utterly unbelievably amazing news is we won't have to worry about the self-immolation that will surely befall young William if forced to choose between his two teams. The amazing news is he'll have all the free time in the world after both his teams get their arses swept.
So, I ask you, is it worse to get swept, or to lose in overtime of Game 7? And while you're thinking that one over (take that fork out of your eye), you can ponder this: Man is that guy from Insidehockey.com stupid. Its one thing to get it wrong (he picked the Flyers and Stars to win), its a whole 'nother thing to go against the grain and pick 'Dukakis' when all the polls say 'Reagan.' Twice. Credit where credit is due: BMFS picked the Wings and the Penguins to win.
So, whats the lesson in all of this? We don't have to go with 'Don't root for two teams who end up facing each other because no matter who wins, you still lose.' So, how bout we go with this one. Rooting for a team down 3-0 is much like repeatedly beating yourself in the nards with a golf club: its painful and ultimately pointless.
Two words for you, William: Baseball season. BEE-LEE DAT!
