As am I.
Losing tonight would more or less be the nail in the coffin of the "resurgence" that AV and the playoff crowd are hoping for. I won't say its impossible, but it's close and losing is better long term.
Management settled this last week.
The open letter was to let the fans know they are going to be selling major pieces at the deadline and will be making deals around draft time.
The Rangers aren't out of a playoff spot, and could very well get in. Anything can happen, and they are aware of this. However, losing doesn't do anything to help them in the position they are currently in.
Rooting for your team to lose in a world with a draft lottery system is ridiculous. You and other fans are just trying to satisfy some urge to see the team completely crash and burn because they aren't meeting the expectations you want them too.
If losing out had actual benefits, as in, the last place team gets the top pick, I could understand. The reason they don't do this is to deter teams from doing this. We can rebuild during and after the season without actually losing every single game.
We're all fans of the team, and we love them. How can you root for them to lose?
I am open to hearing some logical reasoning to help me understand this thought process amongst some here.
