I'm not sure if this is the right thread or not, so please feel free to move this post...
I've been lurking this site on a daily basis since something like 2009. Been an Avs fan since I can remember. And for the first time in my life, I have just now finally hit the point of true hopelessness in this team. And it's incredibly sad.
I guess I'm motivated to post here because I would really like to hear from some of you about any positives you are clinging to. I keep thinking we've hit rock bottom, but then somehow it gets worse. Right now, the only small spark of excitement I get from this team is watching Rantanen, Zadorov, Landeskog and EJ (the latter two because they are the only ones who truly do seem to care about how bad this team is). I was high on Bednar to start and want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the results of the team speak for themselves. What really gets to me though is the fact that nothing seems to ever drastically change, and that has to come from the front office/ownership. I would like to think that Sakic is as emotionally destroyed as many of us are, but his actions and words don't portray that at all.
So, what coping mechanisms are you all using to get through this? I used to be a huge Rockies fan as well, but the ineptness of that organization finally pushed me over the edge and I haven't watched a game in 3+ years. I really don't want that to happen with the Avs.
