Teams go through cycles, once the window on one group of players closes you need to be bad (and draft well) before you can be good again.
We lost a couple of games and people are jumping off the bridge. Boohoo, how do you think top teams got their top players? Gotta endure few stinkers along the road. So what?

Valid. The spontaneous launch of this team to game 7 of the SCF in 2004 after years of playoff-less hockey seems to have conditioned this fan base to falsely expect winning hockey that just isn't there, and it hasn't prepared anyone for the realities of a true "rebuild". We'll have to be patient with copious amounts of tripe like tonight, from time to time.
