What a season so far. Power-play issues, goalie melt-downs and line-up changes. Sometimes, there are no answers…the coaches and players ought to just say, “Ya know, I got nuthin’ ” and own it. But everyone looks for answers…even me. I’ve sought the power of the Almighty Hockey Gods. I’ve looked toward the sky and trusted the stars while channeling horoscopes. I’m guilty of shaking the NHL Magic 8 Ball more than once. This is new…I’ve never tried Tarot. I’ve read and heard about the awesome power of this, but never had a reading…until now.
Maybe, we can get some answers and prelude to the match-up between The Ducks and our Blue Jackets. Maybe all we ever wanted to know is indeed, in the cards…Introducing Tarot Cards…NHL Deck…
I am thinking of the game…Nationwide Arena and the Union Blue…I have no fear…My heart is beating as fast as Bob Boughner chews his gum…the first card is turned over…
…And it’s a Cannon…with sunshine peeking thru the trees…and just look at all that ammo! Nothing says “Good Omen” before a hockey game like a bunch of iron or steel balls…can’t tell which, it’s all good…
Beauty! I’m liking this Tarot stuff! I was reluctant. I’m feeling a bit confident and I’d like to think of more questions. Since I’m asking for all of us…we’re all concerned about: Goal-tending and special teams…
So the next card is turned over…I’m filled with anticipation. What could the spiritual realm have to tell us about these all important issues?
Uh…Oh Crap…The Hanged Man…at least he’s trying to break free…good sign to me…if he’s not completely tied up, he can get himself loose and run away. I guess it all depends on the man.
If he can make adjustments and not get himself dragged to the tree in the first place…and if he does happen to get all strung up, maybe he can fight to get free…OK…I’m not freaking out too much. Will think happy thoughts…will think running (or skating) away from the scary tree with the rope…
Next card, next card…outcome of Tuesday’s match-up…What will be? I’m thinking Union Blue and cannon’s firing and Leo singing the anthem. I’m thinking of the Ducks (and I have to admit, that goalie of theirs has a really cool helmet…) The last card is turned over…
…And this card seems to say it all. Maybe, it’s as we all sort of suspected: The Ducks go really well with red cabbage and dumplings.
Columbus Blue Jackets roast…er, host the Ducks, 7:00pm Tuesday, Nationwide Arena…it’s all in the cards.
