I remember the first time I ever felt complete sadness and heartbreak when a sports team that I love lost.
It was Game 7 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Panthers and the New Jersey Devils. At the time I was in the midst of writing a massive paper for my Master's program and was catching every second of Game 7. I remember the despair of the Devils pushing a lead into the final minutes of regulation. I jumped, ran and screamed through the house when Marcel Goc tied the game with less than 4 minutes left.
