--- Quote from: KitFisto on Tuesday April 23, 2019, 10:24:11 AM Eastern ---Winning a cup is hard. Winning back to back is VERY hard. Since 1990 only Detroit and Pittsburgh ( twice) have won it back to back. Did we really expect them to win it again this season? They may still win this series ( not holding my breath, but hope), but the belligerent anger some show is misplaced. It's sports folks. Your team isn't going to win it all most of the time. There are a few select franchises in eack sport who seem to always be in the mix, but overall most teams only win once in a great while.... If at all. Look at CBJ. It took 20 years to win ONE playoff series.

@Kit. Our frustration is that we are more than capable of doing the double. We can. We have the talent and ability. That is nor has ever been the question.

Thing is, you have to build for that.
I’ll be the first to say every Cup the Hens won, particularly in the Cindy era, was in a large part, due to to the five extra players they had: four refs and The NHL.
I’ll also say, if it wasn’t for (another) strike, The Kings could of Three Peated. The reason being, they where built to wear down and outlast the enemy. Yeah, them running into “Cap Hell” would of happend, but they where the undoubted deepest and most conditioned team for that three year stretch as they where built to win 4 of 7 anytime, without (as Don McLain said) (just) “believing in god and luck”. The Caps had the proverbial “pink carnation in a pickup truck”, but are lacking the dynasty build.

Start a new thread, maybe?
Go for it.
Sorry, not trying to "boss the boards" or anything, just finding it a little hard going on the GDT;s lately
You got a point, make a point out of it.

Are you referring to me? I wasn't aware that a short paragraph qualified as an essay that made it hard for you to come into the thread.
