As the new season approaches, I have this strange feeling that we're going to need this place again.

At the very least. Don't forget we have an election to get through as well!

My vote doesn't matter anyway.

Ja, I haven't forgotten the Quackverse, so don't worry. I'll kickstart it soonish, when it is appropriate to do so.

In the meantime, enjoy this banger.

I don’t plan on watching a single game this season, to be honest. I found a sport/team to replace the Flyers and I really mean “replace”. Like completely.

When you hate a large number of players/staff/fans, hate the history, hate the culture, and are even starting to hate the league in general, it’s hard to imagine caring about the team again.

Maybe I’ll be surprised and the flame isn’t as dead as I think it is but I’m sure as shit not going to force-feed myself games.

But what did you find?

But what did you find?

My favorite sport and a team that matches how I want a franchise to be run, not just the one that’s closest to me.

I'm having the exact same feelings - I can't find the hint of a spark at all. I seriously don't know what to do about it. It's not really that much fun to laugh at them anymore, either.

I thought we were at the nadir. I realized how wrong I was. I don’t know how many more years ahead will be wasted. A part of me is excited for Michkov, but the Flyers nihilist in me says, “Does it even matter?” I might have morbid curiosity, but there is no spark.

I loved them, then I had a love-hate relationship with them, then I was angry, and now I feel nothing at all. Can’t even manage amusement or annoyance or disgust anymore… they’re just not relevant enough.

It’s sad but this is exactly what they worked so hard to achieve: drive out a certain type of player/fan and put all focus on the other type.

It's sad to hear one so young so devoid of hope.
