As far as hockey goes I was a suzie-sunshine kind of fan a decade back. I started a thread " When do the Flames pass the Canucks in the Standings"
The Canucks won the division and the Flames missed the playoffs.
My unabated Flames booster-ism was beaten out of me with years of near constant disappointment to my high expectations.
Today I can't imagine living my life that way. |
Take it from me ... I am well aware that things don't always go well; I've had my share of knocks.
But this is supposed to be fun, it's hockey. I'm not advocating not wearing a seatbelt or not not getting insurance on your vacation home.
Just wondering why some find the need to see gloom in almost every topic surrounding a team that they reportedly like when being a fan is supposed to be an escape.
If you want to take pessimism into a hobby/pastime you can certainly do it, it's good for business and generates traffic/discussion, but I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would.
