[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I never once implied that lesser teams NEVER go on a run. I don’t speak in absolutes like that, exceptions exist for everything. It is YOU that consistently plays word games and engages in bad faith arguing. You rarely if ever engage with what people are actually saying, it’s always some twisted version.

You’re also ignoring the facts of the matter. I pointed out how there’s basically only one team in that list that was considered a surprising finalist. You like ignoring context when it suits you. Just bad faith garbage constantly.

you just use terms like "surprising finalist" (how do you even define that except for in your own brain?) so that you can play these types of games when proven wrong.

so a team that finishes 12th or later in the regular season standings is not considered a "surprising finalist"? We have had at least one of those in 3 of the last 6 non-Covid finals. That is a pretty decent hit rate.

What happened to Palat!?
He is not just not helping, he is hurting the team right now. While making $$$

He is old and has too much wear and tear. This was all predictable.

Contract was never good and given the miles, it was obvious last few years would be bad but they've really all been.

Have to hope he steps up if we are in the playoffs again I guess, but need to move on from him.
