I’ve followed two NHL teams with blood and tears my whole life, and it’s quite rare that both have missed the playoffs in the same season. (Granted, part of that is because the Blues made the playoffs every year for a quarter-century.)
This spring is one of those years, and it would personally suck if I hadn’t seen it coming for months. Both teams would’ve been obvious roadkill in the first round that I’m in one way relieved not to have the distraction.
Because while so many of you like baseball, football, golf, March Madness (er, that was last month, nevermind), and such, those all mean almost nothing to me.
