I couldn’t believe how excited I was when they rehired Sutter.
Tuned into Fan960 for the first time in over a year, listened to morning show, big show, pre games. So pumped to watch the Montreal games and loved what I saw, a different team completely.
Oilers games. Pumped to see the battle of Alberta. The team looked off, like the new bump was fading. But got the split. Radio back to my music stations.
Leafs games. Won the first game they had no business winning. But all the high energy and fast play from the Canadiens series had vanished. The shutout was putrid hockey.
Sens games. Totally lacked enthusiasm to watch. Felt like the normal Flames were back and the Sutter effect had worn off. Stuck out game one. Nothing entertaining or enthralling about it. Didn’t even turn the game on today.
Alarming how fast it all faded. The players excelled in sucking the new life out pretty quick.
I’ll be taking a break from following completely. Hoping for personnel changes.
But feel for the fans who will stick through and watch the remainder of the games. Tip my hat to those. I salute the passion.
