That kinda worked on people and that could be the reason why we didnt make the playoffs and lost a million one goal games.
Unfortunately, that's the downside of being a farm team. Winning is secondary to player development. It's part of the reason we wanted Ramholt in North America instead of Swizterland.

The prospects will often be forced to play through bad stretches for developmental purposes while vets will be treated by a different standard.
