I'm not a big hockey guy in general, but Maple Leafs fandom has a lot of trauma to it.

Blue Jays fandom, even though they won the World Series twice in the 90s,

has a level of trauma to it because of the amount of times they had opportunities and didn't so sports fandom in general is about heartbreak and when you embrace that level of it when you accept the fact that it's like hey you were going to win some and you're going to lose some

there will be an ease to which you accept every shot made and miss.

Also, age is a big thing, because when I was a kid, even when I was 16, 17, I lived and breathed for every shot made, every game, every transaction, et cetera, et cetera.

The Nuggets are dealing with injuries and et cetera, et cetera.

I think the teams that end up being the most successful in the postseason are usually the teams that end up being good in January and February.
