There’s nothing like buying an item when it’s on sale. Whether it’s a flat-screen TV that you’ve been eyeing months ahead of the Black Friday sale, a Dallas Stars jersey at an end-of-season sale, or simply a can of vegetables at the grocery store, there’s not much that beats that small sense of satisfaction.
It’s natural to feel that way when you get exactly what you want and have to give up less in return than you normally would. Saving money and getting the same value is an ideal situation, after all.
The same situation can be found in the NHL.
