Most season ticket holders acknowledge that things are cyclical and there will be down years lumped together and are okay with it. As much as it can start to suck going to (approaching) 45 games a year when the team is no good.

What really stings is that in an instant we went from a team with all the pieces to compete for a Cup over the next few years including a world class coach, to serious consideration of a full rebuild.
That does not seem to happen to other teams who lose major UFA's does it? Maybe a set-back resulting in a re-tool but not a total tear-down?
Yesterday has to be among the top 5 worst days in the history of the franchise.
