A Leaf Fan and Game 7:
The True Meaning of ‘Sudden Death’
I needed a few days to write this down, but it is important. When somebody goes through a bad breakup,
they initially feel dead inside. They need time to wallow in sadness, eat a pint of ice cream, get drunk, or do whatever it is broken up people do. But, talking about it is the only way that they can truly heal and move forward; everyone needs to talk.
Your sports team losing should not feel like a breakup,
especially when it’s an outcome you’re accustomed to;
but losing in this manner does. You go through all the stages of grief that you would in a breakup. And so, I take it upon myself to provide my own thoughts and reflections so that the healing process can begin for all of us Leaf fans. As such, I’ll start by saying this:
I still can barely look.
In my braver, more ‘train wreck’ moments yesterday, I attempted to watch the tying and winning goals by Patrice Bergeron. I shouldn’t have. To do so still provides me with actual pain. Listening to Bruins announcer (and noted homer) Jack Edwards’ call of the OT winner was an even dumber idea.
I’m a sucker for punishment, apparently; I forget what exactly Edwards call was, but there was something about a dagger, and he may as well have stuck it in my back.
It goes on and on...
I screamed angrily when the Lucic goal occurred, then letting out
loud successions of ‘FUCK’ repeatedly. I estimate I said that one word about thirty times over the next minute. It pretty much was the only word I was capable of saying at that point;
twenty-six years of speaking the English language, and my vocabulary had been reduced to this.
.....
Lets face it guys... it's really time to move on !
Just like poor Newtown boy, it's time to either get psychological help in coping with this 'need' to destroy yourself or just move on to something else.
Cheers :eyebrows:
