The stages of grief are manifest here over the Stanley Cup. Chris Pronger has speeded up the process by allowing it to be bandied about in the press that he wants to be traded to a US team [he's Canadian, wife is Amreican.]
Richard is past denial and firmly in anger now. I forget what the other stages of grief are...

sounds like bargaining, depression and acceptance are all that's left.
that's assuming it didn't start with depression but denial. (just for the record, two years later, i'm still in denial about the unravelling of Oklahoma Universities embarrassing demise at the Orange Bowl against USC)... so, we all move through those stages at our own pace. ;) chronic denial seems to work for me though. ;)
thanks, FF. I'm going to have to write these stages down in my journal--like in the front cover, so I can readily find it, 'cause I can never remember! He's in the depression stage, now.
And I have to say, sorry, but I've always been a nominal USC fan--they used to own ISOMATA [the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts] both when I was a student there, and when I was on staff--and one of my very good friends was a music major [what a surprise! not!] at USC. Within just a few years of graduation, he was the section leader [French horn] in the Buffalo Symphany in NY, so I had a connection--but I was torn apart when it was USC vs. Notre Dame!
