Dear Playoff Hockey Fans....

Dear Playoff Hockey Fans,

Though I enjoy the extra cheers in the rink, I'm sure the players do too, I can't help but wonder where you were during the regular season. They did have 50 (plus depending on the league) regular season games and you were no where to be found. The rinks were a lot less noisy and the music had to be turned way up to compensate (sometimes even causing a problem to those in attendance)...you were aware of the regular season, weren't you?! (If you weren't aware of the regular season you can stop reading here).
I'm sure the players would love to have our support all season long, when they have broke records or just had a general great year and even if they were losing. Though I'm sure they appreciate the 'bandwagon jumpers' (yes, you jumped on the bandwagon somewhere between the regular season and the playoffs) where were you say after christmas, or even towards the end of the season when they were in the hunt for the playoff spot that makes you love them soo much now?!
It's the same every year, so I shouldn't really be surprised, just annoyed. Enjoy the ride, I guess, those of us who have supported the team from the beginning are loving the ride and I guess it's nice to have you along as well. Maybe, next season we'll see you before the playoffs!!

Sincerely,
Me

Oh. I should say that I am a little guilty of doing it myself, however, I have no TV or Centre Ice package online and I do follow close enough to know some of what is going on and during the playoffs TV channels make the games more accessible online. However, I not saying I am right. But the local teams deserve support ALL season, not just during the playoffs!!
