Well, so far its been fine. No BS. Actually the thread is falling down the page like the failing hopes of Blues fans.
I just dont get this. What is the point of being a fan of a great team if you cant enjoy and take part in it even at the smallest degree?
I dont understand why people dont just say "F it" and say what they want. Seems cowardly and out of place. How are the Blues supposed to win when no one actually has any faith in them and are almost embarrassed when they are supposed to do well?
Have some faith. They will win one eventually. Maybe we will all be dead, but whats the ****ing point of constant disbelief?
You're assigning all kinds of opinions and emotions to me here.
Why do you think I'm not enjoying the Blues season?
Why do you think I'm not saying what I want to?
I think this year might finally be their year, and I'm optimistic about the postseason. I just don't get any enjoyment from quibbling with ignorant posters on the main boards. Either the Blues will win or they won't. Trying to get someone in Ottawa to agree that they're good this year is pretty low on my list of things to do.
And fan bases in general get taken less seriously in other threads when there is a reputation for being immature. For example, a few Toronto fans boisterously overvalue their players on the trade board to the point that everyone is reluctant to discuss trade proposals with Toronto.
Blues fans have historically had a good reputation on the main board for being savvy, courteous and less biased. Our hockey knowledge (in general) is respected. But as the fan base here has grown, that reputation has deteriorated the last couple seasons. I find that mildly disappointing, and I think that's why you see pushback occasionally when other posters also notice the loss of respect.
I'd prefer if we don't come off like a bunch of kids telling 'Yo Mama' jokes about other teams, but it's probably inevitable and not really a big deal. I'm only explaining my perspective because you asked.
