What Stage of Grief and Loss Are You In?

[W75]

Acceptance.. or denial. You know, such a fine line..

I was mildly annoyed after we lost. About 10 minutes later I was fine.

After the 2009 NFC Championship Game I promised myself that I would never let a sports team affect my mood long term again.

Pretty much this. Well said.

Edit to add: and I have pretty much accepted that this current group is limited. Fun to watch but limited. Not sure we will ever know why but there is "something" missing.

You could say this about every team in the NHL that doesn't win the cup.

Yeah, but losing in 5 games in the first round, with the veterans we have on this team and the regular season we had is pretty damn underwhelming.

So, it seems that we are a pretty accepting, forgiving bunch, except for a few maladjusted, bitter souls like me.

On a positive note, Newcastle finished first and is going up next year, while Sunderland is going down. It's hard to get better than that.

its notta 2-muh ; but sure feels like one. (kindergarten cop reference )

I guess I'm pretty much over it (though I still hate St. Louis ). Looking ahead to the entry draft, expansion robbery, new sweaters, etc.

Hey, just realized I'm over it!

I am, however, very anxious about the ED, and it's potential to screw up the team.

I just reentered one of the stages. Does drunken anger counts as a stage?

I think the Wild could have done better than Nashville did against the Pens. Last year's team matches up really well against them on paper.

And if there's anything a Minnesota team can do is, it's look good on paper.

I disagree. The last MN team (for any pro sport) that looked good on paper Harding was the goalie for the Wild.

The Twins and Wolves haven't really looked good for awhile.

The Vikings haven't looked more than a fringe Playoff team since Farve was the QB. Bridgewater was always a big question mark for me.

Gopher hockey (both genders) does look good on paper almost yearly.

maybe its just the beer goggles (or whiskey in my case) but when we were playing our best we could have beaten either nashville or pens. so bottom line im still unhappy about the end of the season that could have been.

Who is Farve?
