Highlander said:Agreed, if the Leafs ruin your well being this is not good. I was there for the last 3 Cups and have wandered the wasteland with them for 51 years. If they lose to Boston in 4 I won't dance in the street, I like watching playoff hockey and rooting for my team, I will cry with you when we win the Cup (in the next 2 or 3 years). Sooner or later it will happen. So relax enjoy the ride, wherever it takes you and don't get upset.Guru Tugginmypuddah said:Zee said:Guilt Trip said:Hahaha...we'll all be in that boat!!!Zee said:Guru Tugginmypuddah said:Ultimately, who gives a shit. I've been a Leafs fan for over 30 years, but to hitch up my mental/emotional happiness on the fortunes of a team I have absolutely no control over is not healthy.
BS, they ever win the Cup you'll be crying like a baby.
Buddy I might not stop crying for an entire day. Just walk around wiping my eyes "I can't believe it" *sob* "they finally did it!" *sob* *randomly hugs strangers on street with tears rolling down eyes*
Not saying I don't get emotional. Sure I was briefly upset last night. Yes I will cry like a baby when they win the cup. Just saying to dwell on it for any length of time, is a total waste of time, energy and your own well being.
Honestly, it is just sports. If the Leafs win or lose, or in my case the Flyers win or lose. I don't win or lose anything! My paycheque doesn't go up the next day, I don't get a ring, my name isn't engraved anywhere. But it is just a gam and so much fun to watch and enjoy and great as a distraction from real life. But it should never be actually impacting your real life. These are 23 strangers you have never met and never will meet and don't give a rat's ass about you.
When I was younger watching the Flyers in the playoffs in the 80's I would watch the game intently and get sick to my stomach with anticipation and nerves. Then my dad saw me watching and said "You think Rick Tocchet gives a rat's ass about you? Why are you wasting your precious energy stressing about this game? He doesn't care about you" A little harsh? Maybe. But definitely the right dose of perspective.
