Ditto.
I've been beat down by hope so many times that whenever I see them start to phone it in out there I immediately go to my other distractions or work. If I have to watch through it, I just zone out to other stuff. I've seen the song and dance so many times that its like watching the sun rise and set. I just remind myself to look at the games individually, and enjoy the ones that go well when they do. There will always be another win eventually.
I rooted for us to get Sutter after Peters. I knew it was a fools hope, but I wanted it so bad. When we "settled" for our PP coach with no HC experience I guess I knew what we probably had signed up for. This team requires a really good puppet master and a ###-hole that knows the game inside out. This group simply will not motivate itself when it needs to, for the kind of longevity it takes to really successful.
