Pain? Agony? Could next year be part two, a mirror image of the “Silver Celebration” where when the final horn of the game sounds, you feel a sense of relief that the season is almost finished? Will we get used to silence at the Pond? Then just like on Sundays, when Wild Wing is coming down from the rafters, you are imagining the Anaheim Ducks season doing the same.
Will it be another season where the opposition out-cheers the outnumbered Duck fans in the stands while your team is being outshot, outscored, and in general outplayed.
