You're right, I won't see the positive, because that's exactly what they wanted. Wait long enough for everyone to forget their slimeball **** and carry on with the same guys running the show that caused the mess in the first place. Do as you wish, but Ive been consistent that I think its important people are reminded that the team caused this mess for themselves and that they don't deserve fans coming back to support them after the way they treated them.
Honestly man, who is ‘they’? EM doesn’t care a wit what fans think in the slightest judging by his consistent behaviour. You’re already punishing him as best you can by withholding funds, and good on you.
The GM is busy building and running the hockey team we see on the ice. He hasn’t made any appeals to the fanbase to do anything other than to get excited about the kids, and seemingly for good reason.
For good or for bad, no one is worrying about bamboozling you into thinking anything. There just isn’t anyone in a position to care about that kind of thing at the moment, sadly (marketing).
I mean maybe the guy or gal from Algonquin putting together twitter posts and website videos may be tasked with turning your opinions, but you can’t really be angry at THAT person.
I think in the end you’re just going to have to come to peace with it one way or another. There will not likely be any execution moment to cheer for, and if the rebuild continues to look bright, even a change in ownership would not likely see PD fired Immediately. It would seem that he’s actually a respected hockey person around the league, rather than a mere extension of the buffoon owner, and the rebuild is looking pretty solid so far.
Anyways, I respect your opinions and position, I just hope you aren’t waiting for some form of final accounting to bring closure, it’s just not likely to happen, in this as in most things in life.
