Naw it's a pandemic, those first 3 months of it last year reminded me why I love - and need - sports as entertainment, and a distraction this past year. I'll still watch.

However, I have zero expectations, and haven't since the summer when they re-upped Ward and made no significant addition to the forwards. I'm basically watching with the same expectations I had during 2010-2014: I've accepted I'm watching a bunch of scrubs, and have managed to mostly emotionally remove myself from the games...with the exception of the BoA.

I just wished they played a more entertaining brand of hockey. I recall having fun watching during those 5 non-playoff years, as at least they could wheel & deal a bit. It's like watching paint dry right now.
