I am not as upset, let down, whatever negative feeling as most. As one of the people accused as being negative and part of the "sky is falling" crowd I saw this coming a mile away. Not a sweep necessarily, I even allowed myself to believe they could get past the first round.
Occasionally optimism will creep in but until this franchise proves me wrong I will continue to be skeptical.
Anyone looking at this team with an unbiased view can see the many holes in the roster. Even with Smith finding the fountain of youth they are still woefully unequipped to deal with any sort of adversity or a matchup that mitigates the strengths they do posses.
I will be watching tonight's game like I watch most. On my couch, bourbon at the ready. Happy if they win, oddly unaffected if they lose. I have enjoyed most games this way for years. Especially since McDavid came aboard. My happiness is not tied to a win.
Maybe next season I will drink the koolaid and join the pom pom brigade. Maybe that is super fun.

You don't watch this team over the past decade and a half without developing mental coping mechanisms. It's just not healthy to care too much about this team when it's failed so often and badly. Look at poor Oscargasm for an example of the impact that too much emotional investment can do to one's brain.
