Winning a game when you sit in 31st and have no hope of contending for a championship this year doesn't feel good to me.

Nothing is guaranteed but I want them to have the best shot at winning a cup, and for that season that means losing games.

Last season when they were in a playoff spot it meant winning games and it made no sense for the people cheering for losses to be cheering for losses then, they were already too far away from the bottom for it to matter.

But this year it's different. They are in the bottom, losing more keeps them there, and to me that is the "good" outcome.
A win is a fun thing in the moment. I don't see how that can be denied. You don't feel the least bit happy for the players and the fans who got to see the team win (if it's at home). The guys who scored? The goalie who player well enough to get a W? You are not happy the rival team lost, especially if they are dirty?
