(For instance, now that the Kings have won a Stanley Cup and contend for championships on a yearly basis, I'm far more optimistic about them than I used to be.) The attitude is "show and prove before I buy in" instead of just being blindly all-in no matter what.
And no, the handful of years that the Whiners sucked (while still having a rich championship history) does not compare to what we're talking about.

Hmm, the Kings are a great example, all the way down to their Cup Finals loss in -- wait for it -- 1993, after having traded for a legend.
Creepy.
