Optimism doesn't piss me off, I welcome it. It would be nice if we had more optimism but that comes with sustained results. Anybody who posts on this board is dying to see this team be good and stay good. That can't even be questioned. What pisses me off, personally, is crusading 'Johnny come lately' types who think that they know what a 'true fan' is and that anyone who differs from their view is a 'Negative Nelly' who is only happy when the team is losing. That's some trolling horsesh*t right there. After 13+ years of watching this organization wander in the wilderness and set an NHL record for consecutive years missing the playoffs, the "I'll believe it when I see it" fans are just as 'true' as those spewing unfounded optimism because of a few wins recently. Coming onto a board and questioning or mocking longstanding members of an online community without any context or knowledge of its posters is lame and childish trolling. Plain and simple.
