I hope the team goes on another three to four game win streak just to upset this type of mindset.
Mindset of the fan has no impact on how a team performs. Support the tank? I don't care. Support winning? I don't care. To each his own.
I support the tank and want a chance at Hughes. Historical playoff data was discussed on NHL Radio earlier in the week. Teams out of the playoff standings as early as November already face an overwhelming odds against making the playoffs.
The wheels have been coming off for years. Holland blew an opportunity to get in on the McEichel and Matthews sweepstakes to keep limping into the playoffs to pad a streak. There's a chance to land another generational prospect. Might as well take some lumps now and see if we cannot gain a great building piece for the future.
My thoughts on this will have no impact on what actually plays out but it's not like there's no logic behind what we want to see happen.
