Avs Drop Rare Home Game, Fall to Toronto, 4-3

Mad. That's the theme of the game.

“Never go to bed angry.”

That’s the expression so many people use when talking about one of the keys to a successful marriage.

“Never write a recap angry.”

That should be what they tell fans with an outlet like I have here. Well… too bad. I’m angry after tonight’s 4-3 home loss to the Maple Leafs.

I’m mad because we lost. I’m mad at how we lost. I’m mad that a player named Bertuzzi has any joy at all, let alone against the Avalanche. I’m mad that somewhere Justin Beiber is happy about this. I’m mad that the league allowed the visiting team to dictate the jerseys used in the game (allegedly). I’m mad at the reffing. I’m mad at Mikko Rantanen. I’m mad that our starting netminder lacks spatial awareness in the 4-by-6-foot opening he is supposed to protect. I’m mad at how we played.

I’m just mad.
