Why is it a bad thing for fans to enjoy a good outcome?
It’s all timing. A lot of people just want to enjoy hockey and not find a way to piss on the parade within the first minutes of enjoying the 2 points

Agreed. Hockey is funny that way.
In any other case, I would just take the 2 points, be happy and move on.
But what's concerning to me is that the game immediately following a players-only meeting, they had to rely 100% on Markstrom to steal the game for them. I expected them to come out and play an excellent, structured game. That is the opposite of what happened. They showed more emotion, yes, but in doing so they played a horribly structured game in which Markstrom had to bail them out.
I do have high hopes that they'll be able to implement the emotion they showed tonight into the quality hockey they were playing before (even during their unlucky 3 game skid), but I was just disappointed in the quality hockey they displayed after what was apparently a serious players-only meeting.
