While I agree with you Tim Erixon I don't believe was the second coming of Lidstrom. It's the whole appearance of the mess. It's the small details along the way that come to really look bad over time.
It's giving out a draft pick for a guy who should have retired the year before.
It's signing your 3rd liner to a no trade clause. If you actually think Glenn X is more than that we are a long ways away from winning the Stanley Cup.
It's the appearance of letting one of your better prospects go in a trade for someone who puts in minimal effort. When you only said two weeks ago we want to be a team that is hard to play against.
For these reasons its the difference between talking about doing something and actually doing something.
Was Feaster handcuffed probably, at it's sure easy being a fan and pointing the missle at him, but he wanted the job and so far I see and hear a whole ton of meet the press conferences and not very much substance from what he has been saying.
That is why the fan base is mad. It's not these small things on their own is the cumulation of mistakes.
