We’re down to four teams left in the playoffs, and that list feels like it’s about to get even shorter. Pretty soon we’ll have our final two, and the odds say that your team is probably long gone. Maybe they were never around to start with.
But maybe a few of their former players are. That’s always a bittersweet storyline for a hockey fan. Assuming the player left on good terms, you still have some loyalty and might want to see them do well. But watching a player win a Cup somewhere else when they couldn’t do it for your favorite team isn’t exactly ideal.
