Half of the teams that lose in the playoffs will get cheered off the ice in their last game.

As a former Pegger, and having many friends in that building last night, I was glad to see the Jets back in the playoffs as the fans really deserved it. And the fans certainly didn't disappoint.
However, the way the media - and pretty much everyone - have been treating them like, as you say, 'a special needs kid getting the chance to play' has been so nauseating that it has pretty much ruined this experience for me. It has, at the very least, put somewhat of a sour taste to it.
It's too bad. The fans have been great.
Stop treating them like they're children.
