It certainly is a success in the context of the last several seasons and the steps toward being a good playoff team that the organization is taking. I am encouraged by the progress.( I do wish it was happening in AZ, but alas. )
What does that have to do with it being a successful season? Most had Utah missing. I don't think you understand how hard it is to rebuild and make the playoffs. Look at the Habs, Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo, Columbus for example. A couple of those teams are ahead of Utah in their rebuild as far as number of years into their rebuild. This group is pretty closely matched.
I really don't understand your post, but the goal for every team every year is to make the playoffs, plain and simple, but realistically it is not possible. Having said that, next year playoffs is expected, and anything less would be looked at as a failure. BA, and the players have said as much.Likewise,,,,, to all you guys out there who are always coming in after the fact because you think it helps keep you on that hill you're dying on.......
The adage.... "playoffs or we're shit" is a crock.
You can't compare Utah or any other team who are rebuilding to the rest of the league.
now that would be a series of in between periods sound bites I wouldn’t fast foward through.
Ahhh my dear friend, We could of easily made the play offs. Just take 5 of our overtime losses and turn them to wins. If we acted in proper time and traded for the Dmen needed we would of made them. We burned out a Serg, set MavLam back in development to keep a 1st rounder that will have 50 percent chance to make the NHL. Poor asset management. I give him 50/50 on keeping his job. Yes one more year but if he has a shitty off season.
Are you saying it's BA's fault for not winning those 5 overtime games? How did BA set back MavLam's development? BA is not going anywhere. You are delusional man.
Exactly it was his fault. Not supporting the team in a timely manor. I giving BA a 12 expiry date at the latest. We shall see if I am wrong.
