I'm feeling this very strongly.
I've been a die hard, one team fan of the Jets for every second of their existence in the nhl.
I've been through extremely dark times with this team - playing under the shadow of the Oilers, the macoun crosscheck on Hawerchuk, the popcorn incident, losing the team.
However, through all those times the team always did the best they could and it showed.
It has been a real slog watching this team the past 5 years. So much frustration and disappointment.
I can take a team that is less talented, and gives its all but falls short, but I can't accept a team that has no mental fortitude.
For me the worst part is this isn't new, we've seen this collapse under pressure over and over and over.
Thinking a bunch of vets are going to suddenly figure it out is naive at best. I know it will never happen but if bet a guy like Sydney Crosby could straighten these guys out.
Add all of that to my Supreme hate for the nhl and I'm just wondering what's next?
It's a pretty empty feeling honestly.
