My poor heart can't take this.

Warning. This post talks about hockey and World of WarCraft. But I think it's amusing. Still, I thought I'd warn you all. ;)

So there I am. Curled up on my couch, eating ordered in rotisserie chicken, wearing my white Habs jersey (as opposed to my red one. Yes. I have two.) and my old Habs baseball hat. (I have two of those, too.)

I'm all set to watch the first period of the game as I eat dinner and then go play WoW for a little bit.

And.. we're down 2-0 after the first period. /facepalm

Stupid Philadelphia Flyers. So I'm grumpy, and then people are cancelling for our raid this evening, so I'm having to scramble with the raid composition...

We start the raid and I've got a few new things I'd like the group to try, so we do, etc, etc... I have the game on in the background, but am depressed enough at the 2-0 lead the Flyers have that I don't need t pay attention to it.

So I'm focused on my raiding stuff and all of a sudden, I look up and see an empty net. O_o They've pulled Carey Price. This can't be good, I think. I realize there's about a minute left in the third and we're down 3-2.

All of a sudden, a playoff series between Montreal and Boston flashes before my eyes, from nearly two decades ago. At my birthday party that year, my friends insisted on watching this game between the Habs and Bruins and the Habs pulled Patrick Roy and the Bruins scored an empty-net insurance goal, winning the game, eliminating the Habs from the playoffs.

So I have visions of that dancing in my head and I have to organize my raid and and and. I think I deafened my guild members when I screamed "YES!!!!" when Kovalev scored the tying goal.

Not ten minutes later, my guild gets the end-boss of this particular dungeon down to 1% (for the first time) before we all die.

It's not good, right, when it feels like your heart stops twice in 10 minutes? ;)

And then Tom Kostopoulous (of all people!) scores the winner, 48 seconds into overtime.

Dear Lord, I do NOT have the constitution for this.

That said, I wonder if that counts as a cardiovascular workout...

Off to watch The Office, 30 Rock and maybe Lost. Woot!
