Actually, the 'Fins are one of the top teams in the league every year as far as merchandise sales go and, as far as not getting the preseason SB respect I believe there's a pretty obvious reason for that: we haven't earned it yet.
I'm as excited about this season as anyone here but lets face it, for the past five years the 'Fins have been pre/early season power poll favorites only to show up as paper dragons come December/January. Until our boys actually start: a) convincingly winning some meaningful games, b) winning more than losing in the last half of the season and, c) winning deep into the playoffs or winning the SB, the respect will not be there.
Just remember, respect is earned not given.
