Considering who we are missing, I'm happy in the sense that we are playing responsible hockey right now. Nobody likes to lose, especially to Colorado, but I think Wedgewood is in their heads just a bit. Was happy to see Petro back also. Thought he was really solid.
I am less nervous than I was at this time last year, but only slightly. I think this team is built different and hopefully they're just getting warmed up.
And now that we get the 99's for home playoff games, hoping it's a sign!
If the Avalanche and Stars do meet in the second round, I’d be so very curious to see if Colorado plays Wedgewood in that series in particular—they clearly should, but teams seem to have a “hell or high water” mentality re: starting goalies.
I guess I’ll keep the Otter/DeSmith discourse to myself this time 😉
I think I'm personally done with my Stars fandom. I've been a loyal fan of this team for over 30 years and a season ticket holder for the last 10, and it's been disappointment after disappointment. Nill talked about patience today, and mine as a fan is out. I think I had been holding out for a while this season, but watching how this team plays and how they're built, I do not see them ever winning a championship; they'd need to redo their roster like Florida did. I hate to admit this now, it's just they've let me down too many years and I value my time, money, and sanity more at this point.
Thanks for the articles, Robert. You should write a book; I'd buy it :)
Jay, far be it from me to tell you how to spend your time and money. But for my part, I think I’d at least wait to see how the playoffs shake out before jumping ship for good. But hey, at least I know I’ll sell at least one copy of my book someday!
