There is a lot wrong with a sentimental GM, but a fan wanting a team to succeed with players they love is about as wholesome as it gets.

Yep this is it.
This also assumes you're a fan of hockey, and not just having your tribev be successful. If you enjoy the actual game, then you enjoy watching the players that play the game and develop an attachment to those on your team.
Team first? Of course. But the players aren't interchangeable, faceless machines. They are actually why we like the game.
