meh, join the club, guy. i think i would rather follow a team that most other fans hate because that means the team you're following is doing something right. i COULD start hating the Red Wings retroactive to the 2008 and 2009 SCFs, but i just don't care enough about them to actively hate them. as far as i'm concerned, they're not a "legit" threat in the Eastern Conference like the Pens and Bruins. Lidstrom retiring and several other factors have contributed to that.
