These interviews in general are pretty worthless in my opinion.
Yes. And press conferences, too.
The only value to me is when someone comes out, skips all the pablum and generic responses, and instead apologizes to the fans for not making the playoffs, for not reaching their team goal, for not being fully prepared each and every game, not giving full efforts for 60 minutes, and as a consequence missing out on the next 9-10 weeks of what can be the best hockey in the world.
And, if you're the GM, can you please tell the fans / media your guiding principles which aren't changing? Because the past couple years seem reflexive.
Say something of substance strategically, which doesn't reveal the tactical plans or tip your hand to the other NHL clubs. Give us a direction. Do you want to get faster? Bigger? More elusive? More experienced? More youthful - because you think they're ready?
In short, can you admit your misstep, apologize, and demonstrably point the way forward? Half-speak, double-talk, and non-answers don't instill confidence in your team / teammates, and the fans whom you rely on for support.
