Playoffs Suck.... Say What?????
I never understood this logic.
#1: The Stanley Cup Playoffs and NHL Hockey and specifically the Dallas Stars regular season hockey for the most part is family time for myself and my two boys ages 10 and 8. My boys play Ice Hockey in a Rec. League and enjoy picking out special plays that the players make and I enjoy watching them do this as well. This is a time for me to pass down a passion that I enjoy to my boys and hopefully one day they will do the same with their kids.
#2: The Dallas Stars have not won the Stanley Cup since the 1998-99 season when I was just a tween gal at the time approaching my teenage years. So it has been a very long time. There have been seasons where the Stars have not made the playoffs at all or like this seasons exited early. That has not stopped me from watching the rest of the games because they are entertaining. Watching talented players from other clubs that I regularly do not get to watch because I am watching my Dallas Stars is a treat. Players such as McDavid, Vasilevskiy, Gaudreau, Mackinnon and others make it very enjoyable to watch the playoffs in its entirety.
#3: In the end this is a game we are watching and sports in general to bring enjoyment and entertainment into our lives. Not make us miserable and think they suck. There is enough going on in the world that already does suck so sports should be something that is far from that.
