But ask yourself how many times you are disagreed with, and out of those times how many times is someone off side in how they disagree with you. Is that percentage really high?

I think it’s healthy to be critical and objective with the things you love, even if you’re not always right. You’re a parent, so you know you don’t always agree with the stuff your kids do. You may even lose your cool with them every now and again. But clearly you still love them, and sometimes they surprise you and prove you wrong. It’s no different for a hockey team. Yes, I do tend to be more skeptical of this team’s fortunes, because I’ve been taught by 30 years of futility to expect nothing. Other people feel differently, and I like hearing those perspectives.
What I take umbrage with is the quickness of a vocal few who make it their mission to take things to a personal level over someone’s meaningless opinions of a silly game played by millionaires. It’s usually the same few people over and over who make it tough to keep caring about contributing.
