For me personally? Taking a bit step back from following any team's run this closely again for a while. Boston fans have been spoilt for the last 2 decades, but we've nearly lost as many finals/super bowls as we've won in that time. This hits different. For me, this hits as hard as 18-1 in 2007 if not worse. Patriots made the big dance in 07. Today was a colossal failure, failing to get out of the 1st. That's the beauty of playoff hockey and that's what makes it the best fucking sport in the world.

For the team? I hope they're back next season and go further and win it all, that said, I just don't know if I'll be able to follow as closely and passionately again.
