We suffered through a couple weeks of preseason hockey games. Now the real deal is here. We have so many players retired, suspended, traded off and injured that my favorite team is barely recognizable. Other than the fact that they play in the town where I live, I have almost no reason to cheer for this groups of newbies and sissies they call our team.
Even the team motto is LAME. “They stick with you.” I mean, WTF? Are we talking about oatmeal sticking with you or a hockey team that skates, fights and scores? Gah.
So we lose the season opener to the worst team in the League and then last night our first home game we beat one of the best teams in the League. Talk about extreme hot and cold. I’m so glad I didn’t waste my hard earned cash on season tickets this year. All my extra money is going into my gas tank with the price of gas up so high. If I was to be paying for the season tickets I’d have to be making some huge personal sacrifices in my standard of living and I don’t think this team has the power players to make that worth it. So I’ll watch the games on TV this year and maybe even watch the games for a few other teams with the quality players that deserve my support.
