To each his own, but I did not have “fun” watching the 89/90 - 93/94 Flyers go under .500 & miss the playoffs for 5 straight seasons with rosters loaded with AHL & expansion team-caliber players.
stretch did not last long
first couple years I found the rebuilding process interesting because I approved of it.
Then they acquired Lindros.
Of course from August 1991 - May 1995 I was in college and I no means to watch the Flyers even I wanted too
But my roomates thought I was crazy during spring of 1995 when I was watching the scrambled broadcast on prism or whatever it was at that time.
And again, the difference between 21 teams and 33 or whatever is huge. There's very little hope of ever expecting a Cup.... for any team regardless of your situation.
At some point they may need to divide all these leagues into 2.
40 teams, 2 conferences of 20 and each conference winner wins the cup.....
