Fans impatient?

Everytime i visit these official nhl team forums i get disappointed.
They have only two topics:
1. "My team is so bad i want to fire them all and bring in new staff"
2. "My team is so good but it could it be better if we would trade for a star player"

At the Flames forum they started questioning Iginla and wanted to trade
Kiprusoff after the first 3 games which were all lost.

At the Sabres Forum they wanted to rebuild the team after the first 4 games which were all won by Buffalo.

At the Stars forum, well, they actually want to trade everyone exept Morrow.

Two losses in a row and and it pops up: "What this team needs!".
And then 2 hours later another thread called "What this team really needs!"

What's wrong with them? It's the NHL. It's not easy to win in this league.
If i had the chance to go to an arena and watch my team play live i wouldn't care about them winning or loosing.
Nobody is just enyoing hockey unless their team is winning and dominating the opponent.

What is your impression? Why are so many fans such impatient? Why is it all about winning???

Shocking I tell you. People are very very emotionally tied to their teams. And of course it is all about winning...its pro sports. Guys get paid millions to win. Period. Just win. That is why they get paid that much. And we pay to watch it. Its pro sports...win or go home. NHL is not a development league where player dev is more important than winning. You play in the NHL...you play hard to win. Period.

No love love tie rubbish. Play to win in the show. Even the AHL is development but the guys are pros and have to play to win.

You should see in Montreal. We have the best team in the league currently and we are searching something bad at the moment.

Carey didn't goal too well this game.
Sergei isn't in top shape
Samething with Laraque
etc...

It seems that even if we have 17 pts / 20 pts, it's impossible for us to be happy!

You are happy only when you have 25 pts / 20 pts.
You are happy when your team has won all Stanleys in history and even more.
You are happy when in your team has 100 Lemieux's, 90 Bourque's and 60 Brodeur's.
Or not.
