Yeah. As Godawful as the Sabres are, the players absolutely still give a **** (I'm sure the same holds true for every bad team).
I don't cheer for the Canes to lose. Never have, hopefully never will. What I have done is become emotionally disengaged and not care when they lose. Maybe I'll even laugh about it, but it's not because I'm happy. I'm sick of this team being a pushover. At this point, I want us to play well and be competitive, regardless of the result. Whatever happens with the draft lottery happens. One player doesn't change a losing mindset (and if it does, that's a pretty mentally weak organization, to wallow in failure until a "savior" falls in their lap).
The #tank talk is just for fun (and to rustle a few jimmies).
