It was "we'll never win a cup unless" and now that we've won one it's "we still suck because". If I didn't know better I'd call him a troll or the most miserable person alive.

Well I’m sure someone as emotional and overall dramatic as yourself finds objectivive, pragmatic and logical analysis to be “miserable”, but I assure there no such nonsense here.

While this type earned its name from a very large segment of those players being Euros, it certainly does not apply to all Euro-borns, and does not exempt applicable non-Euros from being included

I dont think that is accurate. If you look at the history of European players. Swedish players are known as good team guys and most are solid 2 way players. A lot of them are also feisty and physical. There are a few exceptions but overall Swedish players are usually pretty good all round players.
Finnish players have always been known as feisty players. A lot if Finnish players are strong defensively.
Russia was probably the European country that had more offense only players. But that has changed over the years. Guys like Fedorov changed that. And you can't really say Russian players are soft. Guys like Ovi and Malkin can handle themselves.
The country that has the most soft players and one dimensional offensive players is the US. Kane, Kessel, Gaudreau, Ryan. All soft and offense only.
Canada has its share if Sissy's and offense only players too.

I’m the dramatic one? LOL ok. You’re the one who’s NEVER happy with anything this team does. Winning a cup? Pfffffft, were still a laughing stock!!! No team is perfect and in today’s world no team will be for long even if they manage to have a couple of great years. As great as the Hawks have been they missed the playoffs. The Kings aren’t why they were. It doesn’t matter if the Caps repeat you’ll still be unhappy because the team isn’t what YOU want. That’s just a fact.
DC_1908:
Reread you’re post, and your “I’m Done” thread, and evaluate your complete 180 since you the team you gave up squeeked out one, just one, Cup. . .
“Happy” shouldn’t last more than a few hours, because there is ALWAYS things to improve on.
So yeah, you’re clearly the dramatic and emotional one, that’s gone so overboard all you’re objectivity has vanishied. When the Caps go back to what I primarily criticize, more so
augmented with their Cup high, you’ll be saying “it was just an illusion, this team will never change, I’m done last post”, now that is what you call a fact.

Stereotypes are stereotypes because they are enough reasons for them to be.
But, as i said, it’s the style and mentality of a player, not where there born
