finally, confirmation that I was the only thing holding them back from achieving their hopes and dreams

Right? Where in the world is the “sweet” in there? Like, “omg my former team immediately won a championship after kicking me out. I’m so happy for them I’m gonna cry!”

I guess if your friends win? But yeah, that’s not how this word works.

Because in most professional sports, if you were on the team for a set period of time and leave, you would still get a championship ring. It's quite common.

I'm pretty sure most professional sports use medals. Championship rings are not really a thing (other than maybe some sports that are almost exclusively played in the us)

So hockey is almost exclusively played in the US?
beamierhydra t1_ja91gr3 wrote
Is there championship rings in any hockey league outside of America?
T_Cliff t1_ja91nru wrote
The nhl, is not an american league. Unless youre meaning north America.
It also brings players from around the world.

T_Cliff t1_ja924iu wrote
An American league would be like the nfl, where only American teams play in it. The nhl, has American and Canadian teams, its a north American league.
Really, its a Canadian - American league, since mexico isnt in it.
beamierhydra t1_ja92lns wrote
Yes, Canada is in America as well, so a league containing US and Canadian teams is an American league. Besides, a US league could have Canadian teams as well. Unless you're trying to imply the Segunda Division is not a Spanish league either, because of FC Andorra?
T_Cliff t1_ja92wvp wrote
Its in North America. No one ever refers to American while also implying Canada and Mexico. When you say "America", ppl think of the USA.
beamierhydra t1_ja93cth wrote
That's simply not true, which was proven by me just a moment ago using "American" in precisely this way.
beamierhydra t1_ja92zvk wrote
And in any case, the NHL is hardly even a professional sports league, since there's no relegation and promotion.
T_Cliff t1_ja93cm5 wrote
Lol. Thats hilarious. Youre an idiot.
beamierhydra t1_ja93f8g wrote
Good point. I'm still right, though.
T_Cliff t1_ja93lvw wrote
Youre not, at all. You realized how stupid your argument is, then went " its not even a real league " okk then.
beamierhydra t1_ja93qk7 wrote
This is not at all what happened. You are simply lying at this point

Yes and no. It’s man, moment, machine. Your team made changes, so did everyone else. No guarantee those team’s present rosters would have defeated you last year. That’s where the what-if of sports lives
