Ghostsof1915 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I understand that not winning a cup has to be viewed as a unsuccessful season. But, I keep seeing this "all or nothing" mentality creeping in. The problem is LA took a huge gamble and it paid off. They could afford to do this because they have a reasonably young team despite all the moves they've made , and a lot of it's core is signed. If you wipe out your farm team, and draft picks to make one run, what if you fail? You've put everything on one shot, and by trading away picks and prospects it dooms you to years of more failure. Smart trades, good drafting, and building a lot of depth in all positions will help us compete year in year out. Our prospect pool is still weak. And we need CONSISTENT secondary scoring, and a defense that can take on any team in the NHL. Instead of looking to copy the Bruin way, or the LA way. Maybe we should find our own blueprint, and just have lots of size, skill, and speed, and just look to build the best team we can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BedBeats™2.0 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 No, for the bottom 14 teams, not making the playoffs is a failure. For the 12-14 teams in the middle, an early round exit is a failure. For the top 2 teams in each conference/presidents trophy winning team, not winning the cup is a failure. You're logic is wrong, face it the nucks are failures. The quicker management accepts this, the quicker they will open their eyes and make the team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Usually the defense and the goalie gets blamed during the playoffs. At times we should really blame our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis/Fan Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So you're basically saying that except for the Stanley Cup Champions, every team is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
