A fan’s grief.

April 20th, 2004

They lost! How dare they lose! T_T

So now, for your reading pleasure, I have decided to document the stages of grief and the recovery process for a disappointed hockey fan. *sob*

Denial: “What? No. I don’t think so. Goaltender interference! They were playing dirty! It’ll be disallowed! There’s no way they could win! It’s not happening….!”

Bargaining: “If they win, I will never, ever, ever doubt them again.”

Guilt: “Maybe if I’d worn the other lucky t-shirt they would have won. Maybe if I’d eaten a chicken sandwich instead of a ham sandwich they would have won. Maybe it’s ALL MY FAULT!” *sniff*

Anger: “IT WASN’T FAIR AT ALL! THE OFFICIATING WAS BAD! THE ICE WAS BAD! *insert player name* WAS THE VICTIM OF A BLIND REFEREE! THERE’S NO WAY PLAY SHOULD HAVE GONE ON AFTER THAT!”

Depression: “When will the cycle of mediocrity end? Will we ever get the Cup? *insert player name*’s contract is up; can we replace him? Can the team bounce back after this? What’s going to happen?”

Hope: “Next year. Next year, it’s OURS.”

*sniff* I think I’m going to run out of happy music.

Bobby Says:

Maybe the Canucks deserved to lose because they didn’t play like the better team.
