I just e-mailed my oldest friend--who doesn't know a damn thing about hockey except how much I love it--that our season is over and before I can talk about it I have to process my feelings first.
The loss stings, they all do. Is there any such thing as a good way to lose? As long as they insist upon keeping score, there's going to be a loser and a winner in the NCAAs. Winning is definitely better, as I remember from the euphoria of Milwaukee and Providence. We'll get to the Promised Land again, we will! Right now, it's time to reflect, refuel and then go at it again full bore in about 6 months.
Can't wait for that puck to drop.
