What's it like to watch the parent team of your favorite hockey team continue to play beyond your own elimination? Kinda like this.

Hi there. Remember me? It’s your friendly neighborhood WBS Penguins writer here, seventeen days removed from listening to my favorite hockey team lose Game 7 in overtime of the second round of the AHL playoffs to their heated rivals, the Hershey Bears. Those rivals are still alive, by the way, opening the Calder Cup Finals against the Lake Erie Monsters on the hunt for their 12th AHL championship, and I’m here on my couch, once again watching the parent team of my favorite hockey team continue their playoffs beyond the end point of the WBS season.
