Staples is simply doing the bidding of the organization that has been manipulating their abused fanbase for years now. I don't think the fans know any better and have been programmed that losing is simply part of the process enroute to the holy grail

I think the average or semi dialed in fan gets sold a boosted bill of goods and then ends up disappointed with media like that.
Valimaki is lighting up the same league as a defenseman and a year younger and the only media mention of him is a question to Treliving that is answered conservatively.
