I honestly think that it stems from the final game of Andy's tenure when they laid down and died against the Giants. Disgraceful effort that still lives with (and haunts) me. The days of caring more than I should are LONG gone.
The older I get the less passion I have for the old traditional team sports. I think because I have been such an ardent fan for so long I have become bored with them. Horse racing is a new challenge everyday and I have gravitated toward soccer because that is my son's sport. I think it interests me more because I am still learning nuances of the game. I also like that the game has running action and is over in less than two hours. Football has to many commercials and baseball is just to slow. I still enjoy hockey but being a Flyer fan and having to listen to the Penguin's announcers is just brutal.

Hopefully, Hextall has something up his sleeve for you, like a head coach that doesnt have ties to the organization.

It certainly doesnt help when "Captain" G scores his first even strength goal at home for 2014-2015, in the last home game of the season. Ouch.

Like you've gravitated towards soccer, I made the exact same move to golf. Now, if I can only break 83!
