I know. This year might be really heart breaking for more than the normal 'another year without going to the World Series' sort of things. I really hope it isn't.

Yes. I was in no way comparing the two. It's sad for way bigger reasons. That was just me trying to be funny. :)

I thought it was a great answer on more than one level :)

Speaking of things that break our hearts I just saw this in a NYT article:

The researchers looked at backyard rinks in the Original Six N.H.L. cities — Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto — and found a steady decline in the number of days when the weather was cold enough to make ice and skate on the rinks.

Toronto saw the greatest reduction in ice time. In the winter of 1942-43, the first year of the Original Six era, there were close to 60 days when Torontonians could expect high-quality skating conditions in backyard rinks. Last year, there were about 20.

Sigh.

Well that's just depressing. :(
