Do the Red Wings have bandwagon fans as well?

Sharks Fan asked:


Okay, so going through Yahoo!Sports NHL Blogs, I’ve noticed that all of a sudden there are actually Wings fans posting. Now, they may have been posting on these blogs before, but why didn’t it say Go Wings! or Wings for the Cup 2008! or something like that?

Now, my feeling is that many fans were ashamed. Such good teams consistently, but no results. Kinda like how I’m a Sharks fan…. (mind you, I do put Go Sharks! most of the time ;) ). However, just like Wings fans were accusing Pens fans consisting mostly of bandwagon fans I have a feeling that many Wings fans jumped on the bandwagon soon after their success in the 1st few games of the Cup Finals.

What do you think? I know that there are going to be some upset Wings fans, but hey, just answer the question nicely and I really won’t care.
@ redwingsrthebest19: I did not mean that they are not a good team. I’m hella impressed by the way they’ve assembled the team. Ken Holland is probably the best GM in the league. Getting those late rounders who produce is amazing. What I meant was that, even with their high level of talent, the Wings were failing.

Sure, they won the cup in ‘02, only to be swept out in the 1st round the following year. Sure, you guys did lose to the eventual finalist/champion each of those years… but I was expecting more. Every year, I have a feeling that the Wings are going to win, even though I’m rooting for the Sharks. I was rather surprised by at least their absense in the Conference Finals. They’ve had a slew of early exits, quite similar to the Sharks. This is what I meant by ashamed of disappointment.
