I have to be honest with my fellow CBJers.
I’ve been a fan of hockey my whole life, every year I get the package to be able to watch every single team play whenever I want. this year was no different. I’ve missed probably a total of 3 blue jackets games in the past 5 years leading up to this year. I watched every game this year up until December.
my interest in watching this team has diminished immensely.. after only missing 3 or so games in the past 5 years, i’ve now missed every game since December hit… hate to admit it but by choice.
and as my interest in watching this jackets team has diminished entirely, my interest in watching hockey has diminished too. funny how those two tie in together, atleast for me.
that’s why I haven’t been around on our boards at all anymore.
call me a fair weather fan because I guess that is the definition? it’s just.. I care so much about this organization, growing up with it, that it has actually brought my mood down after losses in the past. we saw a glimmer of hope and officially got out of the ‘laughing stock of the NHL’ label in the spring of 2019.. but, as fast as we rose from the ashes of year-after-year suckiness, we’ve reverted back to it and actually worse.
how’s the old saying go? “in order to get better things sometimes have to get worse” man… this time around when things start to get better, I hope our ‘better’ becomes our best. this fanbase deserves it so so so much.
at this point I’m rooting for loss after loss in hopes that we better our chances of landing the number one pick.. but even then our chances our zilch according to
@Viqsi
just wish we could press a fast forward button so bad to the trade deadline day. let it play out. then immediately hit the fast forward button to the draft. ah, I so wish.
anyways, hope you all have had a happy holidays and if not, i’m hoping life treats you more than fair in the coming new year!!
