I completely disagree. Hard-core fans like those of us here get sick of mediocrity, and we are the ones who are willing and eager to accept and see the process of team-building. But we make up a fraction of the fanbase, and represent only a very small portion of ticket sales and revenue. The much larger representation of the fanbase is less invested in the ebbs and flows of the sports cycle, and I firmly believe are much more likely to stop caring altogether when the on-ice results lag.
And drawing any comparison to Edmonton is a non-starter. The market is more like a cult, complete with it's own history revisionists and propaganda wing.
