As for your last point...I imagine almost every negative poster on here wants the best for this franchise. We just believe the direction this team is in is not in the best interest for the franchise. We want a team that has a chance to win the ultimate prize. I can't say I've felt we had a good shot at that since maybe 08-09? And that was short-lived. This team needs to stop plugging holes. It leads to mediocrity.

So no, I don't think there's anything odd about it. I struggle to cheer for a team that has no shot at winning the cup. I'd like to believe in "the direction" we're taking. I don't see a path to the cup anywhere close. Sure I still would have liked to see some playoff hockey, but ultimately, I knew where this was gonna end.
Personally I don't have a problem dissecting a failed season and looking at what went wrong.

Some blame Markstorm.
Some blame Sutter.
Some blame the new forwards.
Some assign a mix.

But I've never understood that need to rehash decades of results and at the same time also put shade on the future first round draft pick coming up.

Like honestly?

This season sucked.
We've always sucked.
We will always suck.

That's not adding a whole lot to the conversation in my mind.

Add in patting yourself on the back about it and like I said ... cringe. (saw you did it again on this page)
