I have to say that the loss against Dallas last week - when we fought back to tie it on Pesce’s goal with 4 minutes left and then lost the game with 5 seconds left - was as painful and depressing an experience as I’ve ever had watching sports. I’m not saying it was more than any other - just that I don’t remember being as depressed and sad after a game any time in recent years - like going back to maybe 2010. I couldn’t sleep afterwards and just kept lying there unable to shut off an emotional feedback loop. Having just seen Jack Hughes get hurt again the prior game was definitely part of it too. Just so sad.
It’s not healthy. It’s not fun. I’ve been wondering why have I spent so much time on this message board? But certainly it’s been until recently a resource from surfing my phone surveying horrible political news and current events.
I disagree that we aren’t necessarily making the playoffs and still have hope, but I’m not going to watch the games for a while except to check in for a few minutes periodically . Trying to find an acceptable level of engagement.
