I was at the game on Sunday.... if you think that fans cheering at the end of a game is indication that they are all happy with the direction of the organization... then you are far too removed from a live sporting event...

I was frustrated, but not too surprised, they blew the lead... but I was standing up cheering at the end of the game, not because I am supporting the status quo, but because it was an exciting finish... and a little respect for Morrissey and Stuart who played the entire 2 minutes of 6 on 4... simply b/c they were the only 2 NHL defensemen Maurice had to chose from in that situation  

Meh maybe being there live changes things.  I shook my head and shut it off as soon as the Jets scored.

I don't view Stuart as an NHL defenceman, but yeah, Maurice didn't have a lot to choose from, at that point.

yeah the actual comment I made to my friend at the game was "the closest thing to 2 NHL defensemen he has".... with Buff in the box, that sadly made Stuart our 2nd best D-man...

That's fine... I probably wouldn't have even watched it if I wasn't there... all I'm saying is the excitement of winning a close game is what brought fans to their feet... not some generic enthusiasm of the state of the franchise... 

I remember the 2013 Banjo Bowl... I knew I was watching one of the worst Bomber teams since the Reinboldt era... and I really just wanted the season to end so we could blow it up... but that was still an exciting game to be at as I spent most of the 2nd half on my feet...
