Duck And Cover

So, I guess the Tarot card reading didn’t work out.  Maybe things got lost in translation…maybe the NHL Tarot deck is more difficult to figure out than typical decks.

Go ahead and call this the “Roast That Never Was.”  That Hanging Man card was key, I suppose.  Let’s not throw the deck away yet…I’m still looking for answers and I’m willing to give another look at the cards…

The Hanging Man card…maybe that could’ve meant “Man Going Head First Into The Boards” card.  As in Dorsett sitting out a spell for a hit and Hejda nearly creating a new way in and out on the ice with his head because of hit…and in true CBJ ref style…no call on the Heja hit.  The Hejda hit could’ve been called “Side Doors While U Wait.”  Funny how boarding is subjective when it comes to the Blue Jackets.  And high-sticking, and slashing and slapping the crap out of a team’s captain…

Well, now on to the Roasted Duck card.  Maybe it meant not so much of a roasting, but that the Ducks were smokin’ hot.  And apparently, great with red cabbage and dumplings and a bit of sauce.  No argument with me.

What should’ve been…a quit that annoying quacking and sit the hell down card.  Lots of complainers on that Duck team.

We will summon the Tarot (NHL deck) again, I’m sure.  For now, we’ll seek answers later and look forward to The NHL All-Star game.

I won’t dispute the cannon card…always a good omen to see iron balls before a game.
