VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Sports provide a sense of community, a collective team spirit and a special feeling in the city says psychologist Dr. Joti Samra who suggests getting outside with your friends to help shake off your post game depression.
“Remind yourselves that we have been here before and we’ll be here again. We’ll get through it and here is a wonderful time for us to do other things with our free time now that summer is close, around the corner.”
She says people get caught up in the excitement of such a big game and it’s completely normal to feel sad after such a devastating loss.
“It’s particularly the case for males, where when they are bonding they tend to do activities together and watching sports can be one of those activities so there can be this sense of kind of what do I do now and how do I fill my time with my buddies. So maybe think of some other fun activates you can do.”
The Calgary Flames beat the Vancouver Canucks in a 7-4 win on Saturday.
