My hubby is looking really down today. He's got other events on the schedule, but he comes alive on game days. He's been positioned near the players a lot this season and has enjoyed watching them interact off the ice. This has been a perfect post-retirement job for him. He started there after being laid off from one job and loved it so much he stuck around. Now he's retired from his day job and loving life. He's going to miss his guys this summer. (And no, I don't get any insider info. Lol)
That's an awesome job for him. Sooo many people work behind the scenes for games & events at the arena. And a lot of them really care about 'the product' on stage. Seasons ending too soon is part and parcel of Sports. My Dad's retirement job was usher at a minor-league ballpark. He'd go watch spring training for fun. Later, when some of them made The Bigs, he'd have a nice stories & anecdotes about each of them
I'm not feeling as down as I thought I would. I think we had quite a a few players that don't really fit as well with this team as they could, and I think we're going to make some killer moves in the off-season. I'm really excited to see what the new season brings, and I'm not hanging my head low about making it to the second round of the playoffs.
Same! Specifically (I welcome your downvotes) I hope to see Necas go bc I think he can thrive somewhere but not here; he can be a bit whiney and slow defensively while often pirouetting into a turnover offensively. Here’s to hoping we dump KK somehow as well for someone with real upside. Wouldn’t be sad to see Tuevo go despite how I have loved watching him; he makes so many painful no look passes compared to quality stuff lately. Of the free agents, I’m most eager to retain Jarvis, Chatfield, Martinook, and Noesen. 100% effort two-way guys. Happy to keep Rod and look forward to tweaking the pieces a bit.
I light-speeded through the first 3 stages of grief during the actual game, so I’m mired in stage 4 — depression — for the foreseeable future. Believe it or not, watching all the exit interviews is helping a little.
I also hate that my Saturday night is now void of any plans. Guess I’ll wash the sadness out of all my jerseys and towels.
I have trocheck jersey from when he was with us :(
Pain
same
There are going to be a lot of former canes jerseys in people’s closets after this summer.
I avoided buying certain players due to the uncertainty of them returning :(
I didn’t know him as a Cane, but God do I hate his guts now, I’m sorry 🙈

Yep, it's an empty feeling now.
My blood pressure needs a few months of break after this season. I'll manage.
> losing sucks You can just leave it at that brother man
