Approach 1: expect "Young Guns, Part 2" to make the playoffs (in spite of the lack of a playoff-caliber roster), be mad all season long as we lose more games than we win, and even more mad when we don't qualify at the end.
Approach 2: expect nothing, but hope for progress. Be happy while watching our young players evolve and not worry about winning games. Potentially get excited if we somehow manage to actually qualify and then have an outright blast in the playoffs knowing we shouldn't have even made it there, and just enjoy the ride as we play with borrowed ice time for as far as we go.

Of course nobody expects to make the playoffs.
As the Spartans say… “If.”
(But probably not)
