The Six Phases of a hockey season

Denial: What’s going on? This can’t be happening. These guys don’t suck!

Anger: What the F–k is going on? why can’t they f–king sign nabokov already!

Bargaining: Look. Sign Nabokov. Stuart’s ankle isn’t ready anyway. If you can sign nabokov, we’ll be okay.

Depression: jesus, this sucks. we suck. we’re f–ked. It’s over.

Acceptance: Look at how well these kids are playing! Just consider this extended pre-season!
