Blues fan, and I'm pretty sure that's the case. Both teams' fans are just too used to failing spectacularly, so we're not sure what to do with success. Other Blues and Sharks fans on meme can probably back me up on this.

Yup, as a Sharks fan there's definitely a feeling that anything that goes well is just temporary and it'll all get ruined sooner or later. There's also some desperation because of how old some guys on the team are. But geez, this is literally the closest they've ever been! I wish more fans on my side would just learn to embrace what's good in the present instead of always looking forwards to the gloomy future.

AYRT

I wish the same for fans on my side of things. I know it's hard and I suffer from not wanting to be too optimistic myself, so I totally understand the impulse, but you have to loosen up and enjoy it a little bit, too. And the Blues beat the Hawks and the Sharks beat the Kings, so both teams have already managed to slay some demons this off season. These are good things! Enjoy it!

The last time I believed in the Sharks was after game 3 of the first round in 2014. It's pure self defense; they've done nothing but disappoint people their entire existence, and I don't like being let down. I'd also rather read people being funny and cynical about their cursed and unsuccessful team than whining about bad calls and injuries and people not respecting their superstars enough (::cough:: Pens fandom). Sharks fans generally just accept no one will care and their team will probably lose.
