It’s really fun to jump headlong onto a hype train when it starts running. The first two games were fun to watch as a Loons fan, with the team looking cohesive against a pair of teams that set the bar for early season futility. The last two games—one against a team that will probably make the playoffs, the second against a group of players bolstered by a coach who seemed to favorably suggest that fans should wait by their cars after games to threaten violence against them—were harsh letdowns.
Such is the rollercoaster stemming from the expectations that come from major offseason investment.
