But you understand right? We've been down for so long...all I want is to support a team that makes the playoffs. It's been so long. You all understand right? I'm just going to post a lot of facts about my new favorite team just because it makes me feel so much better about having to support such a shit team for so long.

My not very astute take just following up on what you guys were talking about after G2... Things didn't seem much better on Saturday.

Well, I now longer have a source for Red Wings news. That's what I'm really upset about. They must have folded or something. Cause evidently they no longer exist.

It was down to a 2 goal difference and Vegas was chasing him around taking minor after minor and the refs wouldn't act until they could justify offsetting it. Could have flipped the entire series.)

It is going to weird for the Mystics to play in front of so many people (and yes I have seen the Mystics Top Attendance Banners before they were removed in 2010).

Hey, not for nothing, the ONLY people talking about this are guys who don't know enough about hockey to fill time on a sports talk station and losers that do nothing but bitch and moan on Twitter and in the comments section of... well, any comments section.

Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 4:50 pm Well, for the most part people here have bent over backwards erring on the side of "he's OUR young punk superstar, so you shut your dirty mouth" about whatever thing that seems to upset opposing fanbases about him so much.

And for HIS part, with very few exceptions that I can really even recall, he's fully embraced being The Guy and is very open to taking pictures and going out and being among the community and stuff.

He's absolutely smart to be inscrutable. And I'm sure the Yankees are going to make it tough to stay. That said, it's not like the Nats have been cheap spend thrifts.

I guess I'd flip this around and say "what did he think was going to happen" and add that the guy has prove to be very savvy about things... I would find it incredible that in 4-5 months (or whenever) the decisions and negotiations are going on, he's going to be all butthurt about VERY mild push back on him getting grief for wearing opposing colors in the arena during a final.

Also, what kind of reaction would he get at Rangers game in the same situation? You kidding me?
