The idea for this topic came to me after being really down all day because my Calgary Hitmen were eliminated from the Memorial Cup last night. I know others on here are just like me and are "super fans" who take their sports very seriously and their emotions change with when their favorite teams win or lose a Championship. So with that said, as a sports fan, what have been your highest highs and lowest lows? It could be that your favorite team won/lost a championship. Your favorite player set a record. Something like that. Lets hear everyones...
My highs in no particular order....
1989 Calgary Flames Stanley Cup Win
2009 Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup win
2009 NY Yankees World series win
1996 NY Yankees World Series win
1992 Calgary Stampeders Grey Cup Win
2008 Calgary Stampeders Grey Cup win
2010 Calgary Hitmen WHL championship win
2002 and 2010 Olympic gold for Canada in Hockey
I have had a lot of great highs these last few years as most of the teams i cheer for have been very successful.
My lowest lows in no particular order but the first two....
- Oakland Raiders losing the Superbowl in 2003. This one bothered me for a really long time, still does as a matter of fact. Life long Raiders fan.
- Calgary Flames losing the 2004 Stanley Cup final in game 7 after it appeared they had won the Cup in game 6. Never really recovered from this loss yet either, lol
- New York Yankees losing the 2001 World Series. I wanted this World series so bad not only for myself as a Yankees fan but for all the people of New York as well after going through the tragedy of Sept 11th.
-Pittsburgh Penguins losing the 2008 Stanley Cup to the Detroit Red Wings. This one really hurt at the time, but its not so bad now because Pittsburgh beat the Red Wings for the Cup the very next year.
-Calgary Flames losing the 1986 Stanley Cup final.I was really young at the time and really upset. This is the first sport event that i can remember that effected my emotions so negatively. I still remember my Mom asking me if "I was gonna do anything stupid" when i went for a walk after they loss.
-and finally, my inspiration for this thread, the Calgary Hitmen losing in the Memorial Cup last night
