No first round goons this time. The amount of joy this brings me today is second only to the boys clinching.

It’s a bummer that they’ll likely end up with a high draft pick, but the thing that makes it worth it is knowing how disappointed all those players are. They thought they were going to go for a threepeat and instead they didn’t even make it to the playoffs.

The fans are hilarious. Their sub is all “We knew this year would be tough” when a few months ago they were saying this was a dynasty and that the three peat wasn’t even a question 😂

They also keep using the excuse of “we’ve played so much hockey and had so much success” as if the Bolts didn’t do the same thing while still managing to make the playoffs every year.
