...and that awesome team has won 2 more playoff rounds than the Oilers in that time frame. I would hope we're aiming a little higher than that.
|
I never said the Coyotes were awesome just that they were run better by the NHL than the Oilers were.
|
Exactly. There are lots of teams that have also failed to win games, make the playoffs, win playoff rounds, celebrate Stanley Cup victories, etc. over the eight years. But are there any that have won fewer games, made the playoffs less, won less rounds, and celebrated less championships over that time?
It may be a tallest midget competition to compare us to the Coyotes, but I have to say, I think I'd rather be in their shoes.
|
Not to go off on too much of a tangent, but I was one of those people who used to say "it's all about the Cup".
I don't subscribe to that thinking anymore. I want to be entertained. I want to see more wins than losses. I want to believe that my team at least has a shot at winning it all beyond Halloween.
I would trade 1 cup and 9 seasons with no playoffs for 10 playoff seasons but 0 Cups. Yes I want to see the team win the Cup, but more than that I want "MY" team to not be an embarrassment. I want "MY" team be a perennial playoff shoo-in. Going 8 years at the bottom of the standings is WAYYY too long to have to wait for that to happen.
|
The years spent scratching and clawing for 8th, only to lose to Dallas, seem like a veritable paradise now.
Btw, there have been just as many seasons between us beating Dallas and going to the cup finals as there have been between the cup finals and now.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
