I stand by my statement. It seemed like a general consensus that, after getting knocked out in the first round year after year, that simply making the playoffs would not be considered mission accomplished. I am not sure if you lurked around here back when Brent Sutter and Bouwmeester were first brought in, but the sentiment then was that another first round exit would have been a huge disaster.
For me, I think the mark of a successful season is if you can say that you improved from the previous season. Right now, management just seems content to make minor tweaks and hope that they can squeak into the playoffs. What's disappointing is how widely this seems to have been embraced by fans.
