I usually compared them to Christians (but with that stereotypical American arrogance, agreed). They had their saviour in the 80s, and ever since then they've just fully believed he and it will return. Not a Cup, but a full-fledged dynasty again. So any time there's any hint of positivity shining through, they're all "it's back! The dynasty is coming back!! 5 more Cups!!"
Sadly the McDavid fluke has only legitimized this belief for them too. It's going to be a very annoying next few years for sure listening to that
