So, now that we're about a week from the first official puck drop......and while I continue to live (according to Google Maps) 274 miles from the front door of PPGPA.......I don't get the impression there's a whole bunch of enthusiasm from any direction for the new season. In fact, I honesty can't recall the last time enthusiasm was this low......before Sid came to town, maybe ??
Not sure that's because everyone is just playing it safe after the playoff disappointments of the past few seasons.....because the fan base figures a declining team is ready to really start showing its age in 22/23.....or because everyone is just caught up in the backwash of the disastrous (thus far) Steelers season (and the Pirates customary no-show).
So, thoughts (if any) on the new season.....and is there any reason for me to actually pay attention to the TV listings for possible Penguins telecasts each night ??
