Gross. Seriously. McDavid be damned, it's unreasonable to be a fan of a team and be even remotely pleased or expectant of ZERO improvement over the course of two seasons.

Of course I'd be pleased with improvement. I still cheer and get excited when this team wins. When they tied the game last minute and won in OT against Boston last week I was super stoked. Should our team show great progression, Enroth stand on his head all year, Myers look like a Norris winning defensemen, and our rookies play out of their mind to challenge for a playoff spot, that would be just grand. But all that coming together is very unlikely -- and if we're going to be that bad, next year is the year to do it.
I will always cheer for my team to win and be successful, and if we start the season strong I'll be totally into it. But at a certain point in the season you stop being disappointed about losses and start thinking of that top draft pick.
