I am well aware of how negative I can be at times, but you take the cake. We win the cup and you're still miserable. You'd rather miss the playoffs every year with the type of team you want than win a cup with a type of team you think is too soft.
While I certainly can seem that way at, be assured I am just pragmatic, objective, and analytical by nature, which is why I work in the data field.
So I understand, and share the fun of winning the Cup, and acknowledge the excellent play, particularly in the last six wins and 7 games, from a data stand point it is just what is called a :snap shot in time".
It s very easy for emotion, particularly positive, to cloud if not hide negatives, even to the point o dismissing them,which is extremely dangerous. So it is irresponsible, of not delusional to assume that what you, I and the rest have perceived as negatives are not only no longer factors, but have been solved in the last 6 games which is roughly 6% of the season.
Keep in mind that these negatives, where not minor. Some the 8 losses where horrendous, there where games this year where plenty of people, even Alan May slammed this team as they looked like a rec league team.
The causes, (ie culture,descisions, etC) of these negatives,(aka what we have complained about for years) can simply not be e logically let alone accurately credited to the performance in the last 6 games. Unless of course, you consider it inspite of, or as a catalyst for frustration to cause the turnaround. Remvem, this team was doubted to even make the playoffs. Hell The front office even gave us a warning to not have high expectations for this season. . .
So we should all enjoy the Cup win, but we cannot get to high, assume that we are the greatest, that the next is ours, that we did everything right, that there is no more work to do, or even that we are better off going into next season than we where going into last season.
