3. Take a Deep Breath

As I discussed above, everything is okay. Just appreciate what this team has accomplished this year. In late December we were four points from the basement of the entire NHL. The entire league! Ottawa! And know you’re reading a game recap on May 15th! I’m getting goosebumps just writing it down. It’s insane.

More from Cardiac Cane

We’ve had a lot to be happy about this season. The night we beat the Devils to clinch a playoff spot was legitimately one of the greatest moments of my life. Maybe that says more about my life than anything else, but I just graduate law school so I have some perspective on it. I got to attend a playoff hockey game in PNC Arena. Amazing.

I am happy I got to write for Cardiac Cane. We have a great team and of course better fans. I’m glad you all have let me be a part of your news each morning.

I don’t know if we’ll win this series. I don’t know if we’ll win tomorrow. I do know that this has been the proudest I’ve been of my hockey team in a long, long time. It was a fantastic year and with the young roster we have, we are poised to go nowhere but up.

I’m excited.
