You're not wrong! It's pretty hard to justify giving a damn. I watched a lot last season, but I've barely paid attention to the team this year; I can count the number of Flames games I've watched on one hand.

When you have a young team that’s building toward something, you’re watching losing.
When you have a veteran team that can’t seem to even sneak into the playoffs, you’re watching losers.

Maybe you can rationalize this semantic "difference", but I can't. Watching losing = watching losers. It's the same thing. The only difference is "a young team building toward something" is code for "losing on purpose in the hopes that magic beans sprout into a Stanley Cup championship a few years down the line". Most teams that "build toward something" end up building toward jack ####.
