What a year we're having. We deserve this but, moreso, this core does.
For me, guys like JT, Demko, Petey, Quinn....taken a lot of heat in this market. Bubble stuff where they didn't get credit for having a pretty good run.
They're proving themselves with a little help from their friends. I know it's all nothing until it's something....but is it? The journey's important too, not just the destination.
Whatever this turns into, what a glorious ride so far. Top of the league? Yes, homer me always believed they would be but that was always with a grain of salt and a whole lot of hoping.
No matter what, this year will not be a bust. There are 32 teams in the league all vying for the same thing. Nearly 3 times as many as when teams like Toronto won a cup. So much harder these days to do that....I think cup bragging rights start at this level and whatever happened in a 6-12 team league is history that's really no longer relevant. The only reason I'm babbling about this is that we need to just get behind our team at this point. Everyone who calls themselves a fan. It won't be perfect but it's sure something special to be the cream of the crop and in there with the best of the best.
The Bruins game reminded me that some will just kick dirt over this team at every opportunity...wish we didn't do that. Discount what they have been doing because they didn't do it every single game.
Anyhow, just sitting here with my coffee, reflecting. A funeral yesterday reminded me to enjoy life to the fullest. My team is helping me do that (you guys too).
So stoked over this year. Let's go.
