The last thing we needed was another offensive defenceman that was far worse defensively than anyone we already had. He didnt improve our pp and the rest of his game is a liability. It was a bad trade for a rental player. It may have cost us a cup. Anyone that thought Shattenkirk was a good pickup didnt know how weak his game was.
Management got too hung up on adding another offense only player on a team that was already pretty loaded offensively. We should have added a defensive player.

Yes, that's how feel, too. Thanks for writing up!
Although I can admire GM's best intentions, but outcome was negative. I also think he learned from his mistakes.

I will only comment that passive-agressive attempts to discredit data is the first indicator the opposition can not defend, let alone beat your analysis.
The pattern is very easy to see

I've never seen so much bitching and complaining from the fans of a team that just won a title in my life. Being happy you won means you're satisfied with a team who only cares about entertainment and not winning? Are you fucking kidding me? Yes, it took the Caps 13 seasons into Ovechkin's career to finally win it. Guess what? If McPhail was still here there would still be no cup because many of the players that helped get us there wouldn't fucking be here. Some of you folks wouldn't give them any credit if they won 5 straight cups.
The banner hasn't even gone up and some of you already pissed. It's fucking unbelievable. You could be Blues or Leafs fans who haven't won in how long? You could be CBJ fans who've never won a single playoff series in 19 years. We just won the cup and you're still crying like we lost in the 1st round again. I think some of you WISH we had just so you cold be "right". FFS......

I don't see how you get that we are being "pissed". We aren't. We simply aren't viewing are team with rose colored glasses. We are looking at the turnover and situation we are in and trying to be reasonable with expectations for the future, and analyzing decisions made.
Having the opinion that management messed up letting Trotz go for example isn't being a bad fan or not celebrating and enjoying the Cup win. You shouldn't have to be "only love my team all the time" post a Cup win or be considered a traitor for being pissy.

Have you ever seen me post? I'll never be accused of wearing rose colored glasses. My point is simply that WE WON so MAYBE management knows more than you seem to think they do. A GM who couldn't get it done gets praise while the one who won it gets criticized regularly. Clearly they must know SOMETHING right?
