They've been losing a lot and it's not like any of us fans who want them to finish 30th have any bearing on how they play and what they do (and if we do control the team, it's only at the end of the year when we want them to "not win" and not at the beginning when we want them to win). Lots of teams do terribly during their rebuilds but I think the fans who want them to finish 30th are the ones who are so jaded by the team being a 9th place team all those years.
This "losing culture" argument that some bring up is pretty far out there.

Losing culture isn't a reference to a bad team (i.e. losing more than winning), it is a reference to it being
acceptable.
If you want to see the difference, look at the way the Oilers fold their tent when the going gets tough. Then look at the way the Flames don't.
In the end, they are going to have similar records.
But one team has a serious attitude problem in the dressing room, and a lack of leadership - things they are having a very hard time fixing.
And the other team wears red.
