I knew it was coming

A blow, expected, repeated, falling on a bruise, with no smart or shock of surprise, only a dull and sickening pain and the doubt whether another like it could be borne.

After 16 Seasons, Kolzig Says He Won't Return to the Capitals

When I say I have come to terms with something (like, for example, after game 7 saying "I have come to terms with the fact that seeing Olie Kolzig wave to the crowd from the ice tonight was the last time I'll see him in a Capitals uniform.") what I obviously mean is "I am going to obsess about this for weeks and wallow in abject depression."

And I really need to stop reading blogs and message boards, because clearly there are many posters who have a hockey memory that extends all the way back to October of 2006...maybe.

In the whole narrow world of Washington sports on-line today, there was one post that I did love, at Peerless Prognosticator. Sentimental but realistic.

I called it in 2004, even though it turned out not to be a trade and not to be then...this hurts the most. More than any of the overtime losses, more than Detroit carrying the Cup around our ice, more than the strikes and lockouts.

For completely selfish reasons, I hope Kolzig ends up sitting by the pool with the six pack...but if he is in net, I won't feel like a traitor if he shuts us out and I cheer.
