Fan base around here is far from realistic. The hyperbole being used around here in regards to the overall state of this franchise is mind blowing. The reaction to this season has been proof positive that most on here can't handle adversity even half as well as the players they are calling out for being mentally weak, and is proof that this market simply can't handle the ups and downs of a rebuild they wanted to badly.
There are problems with this team, and it could have done better this year with some different moves / decisions no doubt. But the franchises overall state is far from the catastrophe being described on here. If anything we are far better off than any of us should have dreamed we be at this point in the rebuild. Sucks to miss the playoffs for us fans real bad, but not everything to do with this team is a joke, it just takes time to build a winner when you are starting from scratch which is what this team was post Iginla / Kipper era.
