Trust me, the glitz and elation of winning one does not quench the thirst. It only changes one's perspective a bit. I have been a St. Louis Blues fan since 1969. We have suffered through good and bad seasons, been a pretty consistent playoff team, had teams that entered the playoffs as a team everyone had their eyes on, and sometimes got on a run that took us deep into the playoffs. In 1969-70 we were in the Cup Finals, but in those days the 1967 expansion teams were guaranteed a spot in the Finals against one of the old guard. We were the expansion division finalists for three years, with 69-70 being the last. It was our last appearance in the Cup finals until 2019. Then on June 12, 2019 we won game 7 in Boston to skate with the Stanley Cup for the first time. I still get a lump in my throat when I see the dying seconds of that game, when Doc Emrick (the announcer) says with 12+ seconds left "and the Blues at the bench realize they are going to be champions." I will always treasure that championship, and it brings a smile to my face to this day. I still wanted to win it again last year, and this year, and next year. I still have the usual ups and downs with the team's performance. The team winning it created at least two difference: 1) I don't carry around the thought that just once before I die, I want to see them win the Cup, and 2) I know what it feels like to watch them win it, and I want that feeling again. It is no longer an abstract concept. -
Drafting a qb at 8 will derail any hope you had in restoring Darnold. He just left a franchise that gave up on him a a few years, drafting a qb at 8 will show Carolina has no faith and giving up on him in a few weeks before he has a chance to prove himself. He will go through the offseason with zero confidence and thats not what you want in a franchise qb.
