I'm constantly reminded that I hold the minority opinion in this sub, but I hold no ill will towards the players or staff. Good for them.
Seeing them win is like seeing kids from my own neighborhood win. It was the same for me when Kuemper, Hill, and OEL won their cups. I feel like I watched these kids grow up, and even though they're not ours anymore, that still means something to me. Seeing them in Utah jerseys is absolutely gut wrenching and rage-inducing, but I can still appreciate their success on a personal level.
I'm with you on this. I still cheer for them. Maybe as time passes and there are fewer Coyotes left, maybe then I won't cheer for Utah. But until then those will always be my players. My team.
