Give him credit for what? Being in the box while a team made up primarily by, including the core, was won by the GM in the next box over? For doing the old video game trick of long salaries so it’s less per year with the hopes that they’ll be retirements or the league will all but drop the salary cap?
All signs for a future of a cap hell with underperomabing players with unreadable contacts are there, and only one Cup doesn’t make up for, or excuse that.

Well you need to win the first Cup before you can win others. Winning multiple cups is very difficult in today's NHL so I would be surprised if we don't win another one right away.
It there even any such thing thing as a dynasty anymore. With the salary cap and parody of the league it is tough to build a dynasty.
Mickstix:
Yea, that dynasty requirement/dream starts to fade a bit when you turn 50 and the team you first rooted for at age 7 still hasn't won a SCF "game", much less a Cup.. :wackysmile: Be happy with the Cup!! There'll be plenty of time to bitch when the season starts!! At the moment, we ARE the champions!! :P

i know it’s difficult but, so what? Three teams have won multiple cups in the last what 10 years? Each are still legitimate threats every year there in the playoffs.
On this issue, I’m saying the philosophy of organizations that are comsistant Cup winners and persistent threats and obstickes in the playoffs is one of is that their primary if not only goal, and if a retooling is needing, getting back there immeaditly. . . for these teams “have a chance”, or “we did it once so that’s all we need and we’re good as is”, is simply intolerable.

I hope the Caps repeat JUST to upset DC lol.

No offense but the Caps have been a threat for a few years now. 2 president cups and a cup in 3 seasons is very impressive. If the Caps could had gotten by the Pens in those 2 seasons there is a good possibility we could have had have had 3 consecutive cups.
I myself prefer a different style team but they are having success with what they are doing. And in the long run that's what I care about. There is still a handful of players I'd rather not be on this team.
You keep thinking that a team full of guys like Beagle or your tough guys Olesiak and Reeves is going to win. You need role players like that but you barent going to win with a team full if them.
