We don’t talk about Game 1.

Actually, this whole thing may be my fault. I tuned in to Game 4 against the Fleet when it was 2-0 Ottawa, just before three unanswered goals against, then promptly turned off the TV. Lo and behold, the Charge tied the game and won in double overtime.

They’re an otherwise good team that turns into the worst professional sports team of all time specifically when I’m watching them. Fortunately for the city, I’ll be working this afternoon and won’t be able to watch this one – it’s a 2:00 pm EST start on TSN1.

Expect the same lines from Game 1 for both teams:
