Flyers board is pretty awful. Enormous echo chamber.

Most Pessimistic: Vegas when I watch us turtle again.
Most Optimistic: Vegas the one period we don't turtle.

There was a survey done to determine the most and least miserable NHL fan bases that could be taken into account when talking about optimism and pessimism of fans. Here's the list, from most miserable to least miserable.

Are Nashville Predators fans miserable? See how they rank among other NHL teams

Nashville Predators fans are less miserable than other National Hockey League fanbases. But by how much?

P.s. looks like I found another way no income tax states have an advantage

Outside of here, the fanbase is surprisingly not all that pessimistic. The group here only is because it's the last vestiges of the fanbase who can read and write.

Smartest guys in the entire fanbase.

Time for a misery allowance in the CBA

Time for a misery allowance in the CBA

Teams with happy fan bases have a huge advantage. The NHL needs to find a way to level this, and the easiest thing to do is to make every fan base miserable.

Wait that's not their current strategy?

Yesterday, the GM of the team sat next to perhaps the most talented player the franchise has ever drafted and smugly bragged about showing him Nic Deslauriers fight videos. The fans here are the ones who just want the team to operate as if it was 2024 and be treated like grownups.

Up until now, it was purely sadism. Now, it's egalitarian sadism.

3 playoff appearances in 10 years
A coach that has been past the first round 3 times in 20 years
1 Elite prospect
Mired in the mushy middle and up against the cap

Everything is super.

Flyers fans do nothing but whine and complain its annoying

I've never seen a group of Fans clamouring for a rebuild

Like they'd rather be the Sabers for 13 years than at least contend for a wild card

Its Mind boggling

Also the shit Torts gets for being a bad coach on here is annoying and disgusting, H'es a very good motivator and failry intelligent, but some on here claim he's as bad as babcock which is utter bullshit

Optimistic or delusional?

So what? You don't think competitive, alpha male type professional hockey players don't like seeing these things?

 

[Mogo]

Optimistic or delusional?

Oh that would be great thread. Most delusional fan base

I think it would be tough race between Oilers and Leafs

Shit, have they really only made the playoffs three times since 2014? Even Columbus has made it five times in that span (if we're including 2014 in that, anyway).

It's just the same depressing, retrograde pandering that they do 24/7. No enthusiasm about, perhaps, whether Michkov could find chemistry with Farabee or Foerster or whatever. Nothing like that ever comes up--think Deslauriers was the only teammate Briere mentioned. "Hey look, we've got one of the worst players in the NHL on our team to do fighting!" Great. Exciting.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Montréal ain't miserable yet, we know we're going to suck again this year

We can't wait to compete again but we understand the situation

Our board is so pessimistic that some posters managed to make our most optimistic poster quit hfboards
