Alas a Loss ... but Good Times Anyhow ... right?

A bit of bummer to say the least ... up 2-0 we seemed to be driving the bus safely back the garage but alas, ... the Ducks rallied with a couple to force OT and before we could get the OT mojo working, the game was over and the Nucks find themselves at the precipice - holding the short end of the stick in a 3-1 series.

The Alive for the Playoffs event last night had some technical difficulties but we played through it the best we could (i admittedly was not in game shape). Really enjoyed the communication via multiple channels (Ustream, IRC, Skype, phone) and knowing that fans around the world are in tough with us.
