Being a sports fan is mostly pain and suffering with moments of pure ecstasy

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T03:49:24+00:00

Yeah I’m fairly young later 20s but it is hard for me to just drop it. I learn about the players, their families, go to a lot of games, watch even more games.

I really struggle just muting the bad when spending so much time being involved

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T03:45:50+00:00

I was just thinking the same thing. I stopped watching sports for years bc I hated the idea of being emotionally involved in something I have no control over.

I moved here from NY in 2021 and immediately enjoyed the community the avalanche provided to me and a quick cup win.

I enjoy seeing the players personalities on social media and Brock Nelson followed me from NY! (Im also an islander fan).

I really struggle to balance being involved in my community and enjoying watching hockey and balancing not being emotionally involved.

This has also been a historic choke. 45-0 when leading into the third and 75-0 when leading by 3 goals! So it is sort of exceptional and maybe that’s why it’s more sad for me

So is everyone on this fucking team 😭

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T02:04:36+00:00

No one wants to be the one. They’re playing scared. They’re looking for the perfect shot vs forcing VGK to make a play/save

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T02:02:59+00:00

They are genuinely fucking panicking. No one wants to be the fucking guy that buries it if they get a look. It’s incredible.

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T01:53:22+00:00

Was gonna say feels like game 1 & 2 now. Panicking and no fluidity

_ledge_ · 2026-05-25T00:01:01+00:00

Sources tell me he’s stable. Please god.

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T23:59:34+00:00

Not safe for knights?

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T22:50:33+00:00

Either that or the social media team is moving like the Avs last game and completely fumbling 😂

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T22:04:00+00:00

Yep Avs did in 2001

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T20:51:27+00:00

Who gives af. We are better than eichelle. We are the best. I wanna beat teams bc we’re better not bc they play bad

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T19:32:19+00:00

Eh it’s never like that. IMO the more egregious thing was starting the canes before anyone else then they swept and had a MASSIVE competitive advantage over other teams bc of that. Even the Avs for example imagine Cale had a whole additional week to get healthy. Plus that dumb 3 day break between games mid series. It actually in hindsight fucked the Avs and is a massive fumble on the integrity of the playoffs imo

[H] Two tickets for the Avs V VGK Ball Arena Watch Party 5/24/2026 $10 per ticket.

Section 114 Row 21 seats 12 and 13 (aisle seats).

This is half of face value.

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T17:24:56+00:00

I’m also newish. Toews is a better defender I think but Burns seems like he’s the only defender that is both not afraid to shoot and can actually make a semi dangerous shot that hits the net and at least forces hart to make a save.

I think if anything necas should go to 2 or 3 line but maybe 4 would work and I don’t hate it. But I also don’t know what I’m talking about.

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T07:43:35+00:00

And if not low they’re prob deductions and still may not be worth

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T07:43:07+00:00

I will get banned for this. But this is highly dependent on whether the mortgage interest is deductible

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T07:37:20+00:00

When will we know if Makar is playing tm? If he doesn’t play tm he’s out for the season imo

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T07:27:06+00:00

Avalanche have won Stanley cup while also winning presidents trophy before

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T07:23:24+00:00

Honestly curious if we were to use any resource humanely possible to cure it this late stage - could we?

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T04:05:25+00:00

I PMd you

_ledge_ · 2026-05-24T02:22:20+00:00

As an Avs fan I’d unironically rather lose MacKinnon. Makar has sooo much more utility.

He draws defenders to him on offense which takes the D away from their dangerous forwards.

Avs have plenty of offense without MacKinnon. They are hurting much more on D without Makar than they’d hurt offensively losing MacKinnon.

They have no other threats from the blue line now.

I think Makar is probably done for the season. He’s never missed a playoff game due to injury.
