But Tampa up and down. Toronto up and down.
Are there 15-17 teams in the middle that have fans that feel the same way? Important to try and be level headed about this stuff I suppose.

Definitely something you have to take into consideration - no one is happy until all of a sudden they’re champions.
For me the next necessary step is to resolve the freaking coaching issue. For so long with this team it has been a war of “it’s the players fault” meanwhile we’ve hired nothing but the absolute worst head coaches available. Go out and get one of the upper-tier coaches that are available in Gallant or Laviolette and then make the decision that he’s your guy. I know they seemed to try to do that with Peters, which just shows what an absolute cluster #%^* Treliving has been on the coach hiring front. Do it right this time. Remove the concerns and go for as close to a “sure thing” as you can with a coach.
