Both are over the top.
The difference? It's hockey! These are fans! You're supposed to be a fan, which would require a certain amount of hope and positive assumptions.
I cringe when I read over the top optimist posts but at least I know where that emotion comes from.
The guy that seems to want to make sure nobody is ever happy? I worry about you guys.

Based on responses on this board and this thread I think the so-called pessimism gets way over blown by many.
