In the grand scheme of things this rebuild hasn't been that bad. I mentioned in another thread that this stretch of games leading to the Olympic break will be the hardest stretch for the fans this year. There was a month or so of hockey last year when we shipped everyone off but it really didn't drag because most fans got the rebuild they were calling for.
This year was expected to be a really rough ride. At least the season is broken up with the Olympics which will take everyone's mind off the rebuild. After the Olympics we jump right into some exciting things (trade deadline, call ups, signing college players, jockeying for draft position, GM candidate discussions, etc.). The next season I think may worse as there really isn't anything to break up the suckage.
