Tonight is game five of Vancouver versus Minnesota. I don’t normally watch sports, but when I do, it’s hockey. I don’t know stabbing from jabbing or high-sticking from slashing, but I know that it’s exciting when the underdog suddenly begins playing well. Basically, I thought the Canucks sucked, but there they are anyway.
What I don’t get is how you can have a series of seven games, in which the Canucks have already won four, yet they still need to play another game. Am I missing something here? If the Canucks win four of seven, isn’t it pretty much impossible for the Wild to win? Could somebody please explain this to me so that tonight’s game makes sense?
Addendum: JenB has kindly informed me that the Canucks haven’t won four, but three of seven. (smacks self over head) Doh.
