Another one bites the dust

I was so excited for the start of this hockey season. I went to the Islanders Preseason Opener against the Rangers, they destroyed the Rangers. All was right in the world! And now this. Tuesday the Rangers clinched a playoff spot, Wednesday the Isles are eliminated. And Thursday they meet. And I almost don't even want to watch. In the 90s when I was used to them losing it was so heartbreaking for them to be eliminated. But now, it is absolutely devastating.
