Because that is how sports work.
This isn't talk over minor hockey kids and coaches.
This is 1 step from the NHL for some of these kids. We're expected to pay good money for tickets to support the product no matter how good or bad it is.
When fans have high hopes to be competitive. They are absolutely going to criticize when it goes wrong. The problem here is our ownership and management have repeatedly made bad decisions and many that were obviously and so blatantly bad that its insulted fans and completely turned them off the product.
Give people something to cheer for and be positive about and it will happen.
At this point it's naive to go online after a team loses 2 games by a combined 13-1 to a rival and wonder why anyone is being critical. Does anyone get a refund when that happens? A free ticket to a future game as an apology? They should be happy people are critical. It means they still actually have some emotion towards what so many have already given up on.
