Business as usual
As the years go by, franchises rise and fall. Well, ideally, they rise and fall. In my case, however, it's mostly falling. Other than a few brief competitive streaks by the Titans, I've had very little to celebrate in sports.
I mean, just look at my beloved Blue Jays: they haven't been in the playoffs since their last World Series victory. The Jays haven't been in the playoffs since I was five years old, man. That's ludicrous! I love them, but wow, that's a long time, huh?
However, I have been very lucky to avidly follow the Vancouver Canucks for the last few years, and now, they have claimed back to back President's Trophies.
I know... When you can't put it all together and claim a championship, the President's Trophy is more of a beacon of wasted opportunity than anything else (just ask Capitals fans), but it's still a nice thing to have, right?
Though, admittedly, last year's horrible finals collapse vs. the Bruins, or the Titans 13-3 season that ended in disaster against the Ravens in the divisional round, were among the worst lows I've ever experienced as a fan.
...Ehhhhh... negativity mounting... screw it, CANUCKS ARE GOOD. YAY!
