The mantra of "just get in and anything can happen" is defeatist to me.
Sure on it's surface layer it appears to not be.
But that's not the mantra of a true contender. Rue contenders arent dreaming about if only they could get in.That's a mantra of a bubble team.
To me, labeling yourself as a middling team before the season even starts is defeatist.

First of all, please cite anyone here that says that as a “mantra”. Second of all, this is a team that was highly competitive two years ago. They lost two top level players, gained two (albeit one at D) and also an upper-mid centre. The team has a goal and they are seeing if last year was a true reflection or a bad year.
