This is what being sports fan is all about. Game 7 is as exciting as it gets.
These stopped being exciting to me after the second blown series game 7 loss. Now it's just anxiety, dread, and being fed up with empty promises. It's one thing when your team goes from the league basement to a game 7 away from the conference finals in their first return to the postseason and half a decade of failing to put away a series before a game 7 is necessary.
Even without the absolute bombarding the ducks took in game 6, the loss is an extension of 5 years of the same frustrating result. I know that doesn't compare to 10 years of misery, but it's so deflating to get your hopes up every year. Every year I think "maybe this is the year" and four years running they've proven me wrong.
I struggle to get excited for this one. I desperately hope they win. Don't get me wrong. But four years of the same trend makes for an atmosphere that isn't fun, watching my team putting themselves in the same hole.
