This BOA though....not sure what it is. It's game day today and I'm not overly excited or nervous or anything. I've kind of forgot the game was even being played a few times to be honest. Again, not sure what it is. Maybe it's the ongoing endless Draft King stuff, the endless McDavid talk (yes it is warranted for the most part but it's still over the top), the really inconsistent reffing, and a parade to the penalty box so it seems to kill any flow to the games.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm still waiting for this series to really get exciting for a full game, or even an extended time. If there's a zillion more penalties and PPs tonight mixed in with 4-on-4 play I'm guessing my interest in this series will wane even more. Hoping for a fun game to watch tonight.

Its just a product of getting older IMO.
Not saying you are old......(like Cheese old
)....but still getting older.
I have no where near the feels like i had many years ago.
I go back to the cup winning season, and maybe even more so the 5 years previous to it, and i was consumed by the club and its fortunes. That just fades a bit over time though when real life starts to become more important because of various things. Kids, work, other forms of entertainment/whatever to eat up disposable dollars...etc.
Just my opinion and maybe I'm way off on that, but have had this convo with some of the guys i was running with back in those days and all feel the same way.
Its pretty cool to see the younger ones both on this site and around town still have that level of passion/fanaticism though.
