Things aren't very much fun right now. The team is at loose ends. The fans, sensing the lack of effort or focus from the team, are becoming less and less tolerant of sub-par performances.
Well, here's the bad news: It's not going to get better overnight.
And the good news? It's not going to get better overnight.
A paradox you say? Perhaps, but perhaps we need to look at it this way.
A lot of us have been spoiled the last few years. It's been an E ticket ride being a Kings fan. Things were so much fun we didn't want the ride to end.
But all good things come to an end. Now, the current ride is over.
We have to exit, find our way out and then decide if we want to stand in line for the next available car.
Standing in line isn't fun. In fact, it's pretty boring. There isn't much to cheer about. After all, the old ride is over. There are the fond memories but you can't keep cheering about it forever.
The new ride hasn't begun yet. You know it's going to, but until it does, there's just no real passion to share. So, we have to find things to talk about to pass the time...
We are Kings fans. We've been at the bottom. We took the ride and had the times of our lives. Sure, we didn't grab the brass ring but the ride was still well worth the cost.
Now, we're looking at the line, trying to decide if we have the patience and fortitude to queue up again and wait for however long it takes.
Me? I'm in line. I may gripe about some of the things that happen, but I'm not giving up my spot.
If you really want to appreciate something, you have to wait for it. You can't truly enjoy good unless you've seen bad. Sweet isn't quite as sweet unless you've known sour.
It's frustrating for every single one of us right now. Some of us deal with it a little better than others. Some will decide the wait is too long or the price is too dear and they'll leave. At the end, however, when the car is loading for the first trip up the hill, we'll all wonder how we ever doubted that it would happen again.
I'm sticking around. Are you?
GO KINGS!!!!!
