Stars fan here with a few questions.
For 5 years before last year, the Stars were terrible. However, the team never admitted they were bad. When Jim Nill pulled some magic, we went from bad to playoff bound in one offseason.
The Stars never admitted to being in a rebuild, and their actions proved that they weren't rebuilding. They advertised the team by saying that this year was going to be different and the team would make it to the playoffs, but they continued to suck.
My question is this:
With a team like the Sabres or Flames, who have kinda been in true rebuild mode recently, how does management sell the team to the fans? Obviously HF fans can grasp the concept of a rebuild, but for the uneducated fans (sadly, the majority), does management try to sell promise for the season, or do they just hope that people get that the bad years are for the better.
PS: thought about this while re-watching "Goon", because the Highlanders have the Sabres' goal horn.
