I’ve been back and forth on that same issue. Will quick success jade the fanbase so that when the lean years come, many will bail? Or does contending right out of the gate build excitement in what may have otherwise been a unenthusiastic hockey market?
Me? I’m a Blackhawks fan since childhood who found his peacful hockey life torn apart when his spiritual hometown was awarded a team of their own. Point is, I’m used to waiting a long time for a Cup. So I say win it when you can, and let history sort out the rest. I know I’ll still be a Knights fan when they hit hard times.
