I feel the same way. That, plus a little inebriation, is why I went ape-[expletive] in the game thread last night.
This team is exciting, but it's equally frustrating. It's like a roll of the dice every night: evens, they're going to win a game they have no business of winning, and odds: they're going to lose a game they should never, ever lose.
Now I'm even more pissed because some [expletive] here tried to hijack this thread to talk about hockey. Go to Stanley'scup.com or some other site to spew your hockey babble. Don't deny me my rights to be pissed off about last night, because it really, really sucks to lose a game that way.

Hockey, my ass.
All I'm saying is that I tuned over to the hockey game for good once the sucky Cardinal game concluded, and it entertained me enough that I did not go to bed angry.
After all, the good ol' hockey game is the best game you can name. And the best game you can name, is the good ol' hockey game.

I'm sorry, I know there's more to it, but hockey basically appears to be two teams just frantically slapping the puck in opposite directions. I think the reason I like it so much more in video game form is that the players actually control the puck and pass to teammates. Last night all I saw was people slapping the puck in the general direction of the other team's goal the second an opponent got near them.
In that case, baseball is just two teams throwing a ball at a guy with a stick who tries to run in a square.
