Every season the playoffs is both the most wonderful time of the season and the most miserable time of the year. The easiest way to deal with the anxieties and woes that are tied to the playoffs is to have extremely low expectations. Since Shawn Pawn has been fortunate enough to be called up to the Tampa Bay Barracuda. Tampa has been fortunate enough to make the playoffs, it feels good to stay off the couch in March. This is Shawn Pawn's first season making it beyond the first round of the playoffs similarly it is the first season that the Tampa Bay Barracuda have made it beyond the first round of the simulation hockey league playoffs since season 65 when the Barracuda has a shot at the Challenge Cup; squaring off the Los Angeles Panthers and ultimately losing to them in six games. Now that Tampa has made it beyond the first round, it is difficult to keep reasonable expectations as to avoid getting your dreams crushed. So it is best to have the mindset, just do your best and after the chips fall, hopefully it was enough to bring home the cup.
