The middle six have more than enough talent to score. They've done it in the past. The odds of the entire middle six having this long of a struggle should not be happening even if you factor in possible chemistry issues.
The only explanation I can come up with is that someone, somewhere has put a hex on the middle six. I have no way of knowing who it is or where it is coming from. Perhaps it is a deranged Toronto or Montreal fan (narrows things down to a few million people), or perhaps it is Jimmy Hayes. I don't normally delve into the dark arts, but I do have a power level greater than that of your average idiot. Today I have decided it is time to attempt to break the hex cast upon the middle six. This shit has to end! I will be channeling all my energy, burning incense at the head of my Bruins' alter, wearing a Dallas Stars jersey, chanting things that would freak out even the most hardened of souls, and performing sacred Voodoo rituals, all in order to break this damn hex. Not sure if the hex will be broken all at once, but I am confident it can be broken. Hopefully the amount of energy I exert today will at least be matched by the effort of the middle six. Go Bs!
