Get the hell out of here with this nonsense. This season was a total failure . We were swept by the 8th seed. The team showed no heart or fight. Cooper is a joke. Yzerman saw this coming and resigned before the s*** hit the fan. I am disgusted by the record setting disappointment.I know we have a general discussion thread but this is different.
There's those of us who have been watching for years. There's those of us who are the new generation and welcome additions to our family. Regardless of it all I think there's those of us here who know and understand just how special this year really has been. But for it all are we really digesting it? Are we truly appreciating what we watch? That is what this is about. It was around 2010 I became consciously aware of the idea of the Rays success under Joe Maddon. How the players I watched would not always be there. That the success I enjoyed would not always be there. That Joe himself may one day leave. And wouldn't you know it, it happened. I felt fortunate to have taken the time along the way to realize how special it was.
For me, this has been special not just because of records. It's not just special because of wins. It's special because the day Jeffrey Vinik introduced himself to us he said his dream was of a world-class organization. The man must've said "world-class" somewhere between 3 to 5 times. These are the days in which we have embodied that vision. Imagine.... us. The Tampa Bay Lightning. A world-class organization.
Maybe this thread just ends up being a "me" thing because I'm happy right now. But I encourage all of us to reflect on our journey thus far and enjoy what it means to be a fan of a world class organization who is now making history not seen for ages. Always remember that no matter what happens nothing will EVER be able to take away these moments we've enjoyed together.
Thank you Jeffrey Vinik
Thank you Steve Yzerman and Julien Brisebois
Thank you Jon Cooper
And thank you to our players for giving me a year so amazing I still sometimes have a hard time believing it has been real.
Give your thanks guys. It's not so unbelievable or impossible that someone important is gonna see it.
You guys had an incredible season and you deserve congratulations for that. Probably doesn’t mean much right now, but hopefully you guys are back next year. Good luck.
