Anyone else feel a little disconnected?

[Renomitsu 934]

A little stream-of-consciousness here as I struggle to put some thoughts together for this week!

 

Does anyone else feel a little disconnected from the VHL right now? I've been in the pediatric emergency department all week, and I've only now caught up to the fact that Warsaw is in the EU Conference finals, which is wonderfully exciting! Despite their loss in the divisional round, I was thoroughly impressed by Davos's performance this post-season; for some reason, I was under the impression that they'd had a rather difficult season again and weren't supposed to be contenders -- but here they were, bringing Malmo out to six games with an excellent showing and a promising future ahead. I also think I've lost track of some of the personnel and management changes across the major league, to say nothing of all of the congratulations that go out to our (kinda) new VHLE GMs. I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't had more time to familiarize myself with all of the cool new members in the league, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

 

On the other hand, is anyone surprised at all that Seattle's back in yet another NA Conference final series? I feel like Bana's had a remarkable, sustained period of success that's spanned multiple player careers' worth of seasons, and that certainly deserves some recognition.

 

Since I've gotten more than my fair share of 200 words out of the way: I hope you're all doing well. Please, please, please take some time to focus on your wellness, be it with some relaxing free-time activities or just a few minutes to meditate and reflect on the last week. There's a lot going on in the world, and I think it's very easy to get worked up and fail to see the forest for the trees. Thanks for reading.
