Watched a guy blow a 3-0 lead at a bar in Reno and now I can't sit through a close game the same way
Two weeks ago I was at a sports bar off Virginia Street in Reno watching a rec league hockey final with maybe 40 people in the room. The home team was up 3-0 with 11 minutes left and you could feel everyone ordering another round like it was over. Then they gave up a shorthanded goal, took a dumb penalty, and lost 4-3 in OT and the whole place went dead quiet. Since then I've caught myself getting nervous at 2-0 leads and even fast forwarding past the 3rd period, which feels kind of dumb. How do you all stay locked in when a game seems decided without just waiting for the other shoe to drop?
