Honestly, I can sympathize with both positions on this one. My financial situation's never been good enough to be able to afford season tickets (or even regular attendance - I usually manage
maybe one or two games a year, and I hadn't gotten my chance this past year before the pandemic hit), but I can easily understand why folks paying lots and lots of money would be expecting more. I honestly think at this point we have a good enough team that there's not much more to realistically expect... but I'm not the one who's been spending money for 20 years, so I'm not in a position to dictate to folks how they should feel.
How the team gets evaluated, on the other hand...
Wanting more is fair and understandable. Insisting it's mandatory and that we otherwise suck is just being in grumpy denial of the reality on the ice. The team's good. Whether that makes up for having spent on Doug MacLean's promises is a different consideration (and one that I've not been obliged to make, altho those who do have my sympathies and my thanks for their support). But that doesn't make the team any less good.
