Yeah I hear ya there. To me, it's not their eternal optimism that bugs me..it's more the arrogance and looking down on us because of things that happened over 30 years ago...meanwhile ignoring what the past 20 years have looked like, and how much we've owned them this century.
It boggles my mind how they legit think they're a winning franchise people are envious of. They strut around like they're the Brady era Patriots when they've actually been the New York Jets this century. I don't get it.
EDIT: and while my expectations are low for this year, I do carry some quiet confidence just due to the Sutter Factor, paired with we have the goalie to carry us if he gets hot again. Now that we resemble more of a Sutter roster, I wouldn't be stunned to see the stars suddenly align. We'll see how she goes..
