Being a sports fan can be tough. One of the hardest things is when your favorite team gets rid of your favorite player. We all have had that experience. Last year, Flyers fans felt it pretty hard when Claude Giroux was traded away; although the emergence of Owen Tippett is making that more palatable. For some of us, it may have been Wayne Simmonds, Eric Lindros, Rod Brind’Amour, Mark Recchi, or Tim Kerr.
For Winnipeg fans, this is a rough time. They got bounced pretty badly in the first round of the playoffs and then their team fell apart.
