Stop questioning fans resolve. We're all here, talking about them and devoting our time to this team while the owners line their pockets with our money. Just because you choose to bury your head in sand and pretend like this is completely normal doesn't mean that people who don't follow suit are any worse fans than you.

You mean if I told them that they would have a team with a 22 year old centre who had already scored 30 goals in a season, a young winger who already had been 6th in league scoring for a season, a second round playoff appearance, two other young players with high ceilings already playing regular roles, Backlund playing like a two-way superstar, a top three defence that at times has looked like the envy of the league and includes Dougie Hamilton (who had been drafted 9th overall just two years earlier). Yeah if I told them that, and also that the team had a new coach and was 28th in the league on November 4th, I think a lot of people would be pretty excited.
