I enjoyed most of it. I'm personally not a fan of the issues you take with fans. I don't necessarily think that a celebration at any point following a loss is a bad thing. Fans watch intently all season. They develop pseudo relationships with the players. They watch them get injured, rise and fall and fans often neglect their families and work to do so. I see nothing wrong at all with a "thank you for the ride". when my hockey season is over I have a hard time not being thankful for the time I got to spend all season with the guys in the locker room. After all, it'll be months before we get to spend that kind of time together. I understand wanting more and I'm all about seeing people truly rise to their potentials but a truly great team/player rises to greatness regardless as to who they have behind them. The energy that converts to championships comes from within not without. For instance, a championship team wins in their opponent's building. Fans should have no responsibility in the pursuit of mediocrity or greatness and if they have no responsibility I say leave them room to respond however they wish. This was a great article.

In Philly we would have stormed the ice. Good point about “cheering the loss”. In Philly we would have stormed the ice.
