We did our part beating down Boston and most every other team but still got F$cked on some tie-break BS. Our guys 100% deserved to be in based on their play, but we get punished because the bulls are hot garbage and Toronto is trash.
This will just end up being another chip on our shoulder. This team runs on chips lol. We don’t get any love or respect from anybody so we have to go out and earn it. This will only motivate our young guys who already seem to have an edge. Taste that salt and get mad young fellas.
Fck the in season tournament, F%ck the bulls. Fck the whole state of NY. F*ck Adam Silver I’m out. (4th seed guaranteed tho).
At this stage the IST doesn’t mean much, but I was thinking about it today and realised that it’s still a chance to win in a competitive setting.
It’s not the title sure but I think with the single elimination format we had a much better chance at bringing home the cup than we will of even making it to the ECF this year.
It still goes on your resume and into your cabinet, it’s not meaningless at all. I’d say it’s more worth having than an all star appearance or even a top seed by the end of the season.
