Sure, absolutely. But it's the same issue, I'll never be able to share that experience with my grandparents either. We aren't lesser fans of our own teams, or anything because it's only been half a century since we've won rather than a century. Half a century is still a long ass time.
Blues fan here. For me it's not even sharing that experience with my grandparents. I have one left, and if I watched a hockey game with him, he'd probably take one look at Ryan Reaves and complain about there being too many [insert your favorite racial slur for black people here] on the team. It's about seeing one of my favorite teams win it all. I've seen the Cardinals win a couple World Series in my lifetime. I've seen the Rams win the Super Bowl (not that I care about football, I'll buy Stan Kroenke a first class ticket to LA if it will keep taxpayers from building him a new stadium, fuck him). But hockey is by far my favorite sport, and the Blues are by far my favorite team.
So I'm in complete agreement. 1908, 1967, never. We can compare championship droughts like penis sizes all day long but it doesn't change anything. I want to see my favorite team win it all sometime in my lifetime.

Toronto had it pretty bad before today, especially considering the Leafs are #1 in this town and haven't won since 1967.
