Some people can just enjoy a win for what it is, one win, and enjoy the sport of hockey and their favorite team playing it better than the other team on a given night. Enjoying a win doesn't equate to being ok with things as a whole or only hoping in a miraculous run, that's flawed reasoning.
Why don't they show up after a loss? I think lots do (I've done database queries out of curiosity to see # of posts after wins and after losses), but I certainly could see why they wouldn't since it's predictable what posts are going to be made, over and over and over.
It's annoying not so much because it's negative (there's lots of great posts as to why the team sucks like it does, how it got there,etc) it's annoying because it's exhaustively banal.
Or they're just disappointed with the loss and the team but don't want to wallow in it.

This is outright trolling, if you want to know why you get negative feedback sometimes, this is exactly why. You're making an assumption because it's convenient to your point, you're being mean spirited, and you're targeting a group of people that you've created for your argument rather than actually arguing a specific point that someone has made.
