Dear Colorado Avalanche,
Sadly, you aren’t a very good hockey team this season. Even worse, you’re about to play the Carolina Hurricanes in Carolina, where you haven’t won since 2008.
As a Carolina native, I only get to see you play in person one time a year. And every year, I dread going to the game. I sit three rows behind the net and cheer you on as you disappoint me year after year. I understand that the team hasn’t been consistently good since the glory days of Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Adam Foote, and Patrick Roy; but it’s not like the Hurricanes are any good either.
