I saw the score and am actually happy. When you really don’t believe the team is good enough, the roster is massively problematic, and the coach and GM are clueless, the only hope is for them to keep losing until something changes.
Yep. Hate to say it but at this point I'm actively rooting for change.
It was already clear they could do nothing in the playoffs but when that same choking mentality catches on in the regular season we are actually Andy Murraying our way into the black hole and these guys should NOT get another free pass, last season's chokefest was enough.
The year before it was awww, your'e ahead of schedule and injured, it's okay that you choked the series lead, you took it to game 7 *pats on head*
Last year it was welp, we choked away a game and series lead, but we weren't totally ready. What are you going to do when the best player in the world goes nuclear? ...oh, they were out in the next round? Huh, imagine that.
This year it's WE ARE A CONTENDER LOOK AT THIS ROAR buuuut surprise we're regressing and on pace for a worse record than last year despite all the continuity, the 'big trade,' a road record winning streak, a favorable home schedule, and some of the best health in the league.
This team is one Danault injury away from a complete playoff miss.
