Hey Mick. How are ya. It’s been awhile.
I, for one, got a good chuckle on “still the champs” 😆
As far as the length of honeymoon time is concerned, that’s a good point. For the long term cap fans, especially, many of us had become reluctant, for good reason, to have high expectations, at both the pre and post season timeframe, and have grown accustomed to this.
For me now, the whole backdrop is different!! Why?.....well, WE WON THE CUP!! We achieved the very THING that was the main cause, in the end, of all our roller coaster emotional states during the prior seasons. Nothing takes that away! It’s now historical fact!!
It helps me to put an enormously happy exclamation point and period on that!! Of course I am optimistic for this upcoming season, but, IMO, it’s a new complete era in my book. Mostly the same crew, new coach, etc, but it doesn’t matter as much. I don’t have to start this season with the same apprehension as with many in the past because WE DIDNT GET BURNED THIS YEAR!!!! 😆 LOL.
For the first time in what seems like forever, I can be optimistic, but can let my expectations grow as the season does. Haven’t been able to do THAT, in years, buddy!!
Well said by you, for trying not to put a timetable on it!! We’ve paid our anxiety debt already!! LOL
Well, sure didn’t take me long to start rambling again!😁

Been good! Totally agree on finally winning the cup! Been teasing DC cause he's still very critical, but it's like trying to tell highschool freshman they need to study hard and do good in school.. They eventually figure it out on their own.. :P I'd pretty much come to accept that I'd probably never see them win a Cup.. (Never really had that though, seriously, until I turned 50) And it was still fun watching, commenting, bitching, etc.. But then they surprise everyone and win it all! Made me feel like a teenage Redskin fan again!! :rofl: Hope you're around for the season!! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah Mick, I’ll be around this year.
Good description, for us “over 50’s”, with the teenage Redskin fan bit! I’m there!
Funny thing about DC. He’s got that type of brain whose gears process at the intersection of “Dynasty Detroit Drive”, and “Data Analysis Highway”. (One reason I like the guy)! I do share some of his negative views on Ted, as far as the “entertainment” thing goes. But still see Mr Leonsis as an extremely charitable power force in the DC area, which on any scale, is a good thing
I’ve shifted my opinion to the positive side on GMBM, after bashing him for Shatty, and the Mojo fiasco, as examples, but DO LIKE the Kempny, Orpik, deals, and since Trotz leaving was a given on both sides, the way GMBM has set up things presently, I give him credit for that!
DC and I have immensely strong respect for, and still await the return of, gritty, heavier, old school hockey! And have a sour taste for a lot of the newer, softer, shit!
Somewhere down in the recesses of DC’s heart, there is a pulsing piece of kryptonite, that glows for
our Stanley! I’ll be getting slammed with him soon, and I’ll let you know if I see it!! 😂(luv ya DC)!!
Look forward to talking with you Mick, during the season!
