I've pretty much stepped away as well. I remember sitting in the stands after my friend bailed on going to the game with me and just wondering what the hell I was doing. I just had a hard time justifying why I spent so much time, energy and money on watching other people play a game. My life could be so much further ahead if I didn't focus so much on something I had no control over.
I still love the Canucks and want them to win, and I still pop in here once in awhile to post my insipid comments when something wild happens or I'm really bored, but I've gone from watching every Canucks game I can, highlight games around the league, every NFL game I can, going to local hockey games etc, to basically watching a marquee game if I don't have anything else going on.
