This feels weirdly like that moment when a hockey season is over, and the excitement for the coming season starts to seep in. Late June for a team that’s rebuilding and you believe it will be better next year. And yet it’s still sad that this is a kind of ending.
I went back and read the first real article I wrote for this site, something that is both amusingly overly hopeful and still ideologically valid. It’s from 2016 and is all about the Coyotes and how they have to be careful with their money vs the rolling in it Leafs, who can buy anything they want.
