Cups are neither won nor lost in July, or October, or March for that matter.
I'm not in the prediction business (they take care of that in Delphi), but I always hope for and root for the best. Life's too short to waste time on doom and gloom.
I'm looking forward to seeing a healthy Chara and Krejci, how the new guys work out, the continued growth of Pasta and Spooner. I have to believe they'll do well, because otherwise, why watch?
Different strokes.
On the flip side of things, I can accept them for what I believe they are next season and still look forward to seeing them instead of trying to convince myself everything is going to go right for them and ignore my concerns.
As confused as the OP is of the negativity, I'm just as confused as how someone can see this team as one of the best in the East.
I have nothing against people that choose to respectfully be positive about their team in all situations but it's not for every fan and that's okay. The worst thing for me is not a team that I expect to be bad, it's a team that I build high expectations for that crashes down. Not something I'm going to have to worry about next season as I've adjusted my expectations quite a bit.
