I paid for the game 6 video and I want my mone back for that heartless, putrid, effort.
As great as this season was, I will remember this season for the game 5 choke and the game 6 give up. Truely a huge black mark on a great season.
Outscored 19-7 over the past 3 1/2 games after taking a 2 games to none series lead.
Outscored 10-0 over the last 2 1/2 periods of hockey.
I said this before the game on an Instant Message to a friend of mine. This Tips team has been my LEAST favorite in the 4 years of Tips hockey. While the other three Tips teams seemed to over achieve fo the talent they had, this team has consistently under achieved. That's hard to say about a team that had the most points in the WHL, but it's one of those things where a should be 5-1 win turns into a 3-2 overtime/shoot out win or a 3-0 lead turns into a 3-2 hang on for dear life regular time win.
No Tips fans will agree with me, and it certainly won't happen, but I'll be a happy camper when Constantine decides to move on. Growing up in San Jose, CA I was there for the Constantine years as a Season Ticket Holder. Didn't like him then, not a fan now. That being said, I think he was a PERFECT fit for the Tips in years one and two. I just wish he's have gotten another job after that.
Yes, I am a pi$$ed off fan. WE give our hearts and dollars to this team and WE deserve better than this effort. Because you can get to know them, unlike the NHL, you get more emotionally involved getting close to the players...so you hate it when negative things are said about them. But, if this was the Seahawks getting blown out 56-7 in the 2nd round of the playoffs after going 14-2 in the regular season (each goal being a TD), you'd be saying feeling the same types of things I am.
