This you creating a narrative about his critics:

"People get fixated on these sorts of things because we are so focussed on what is happening with THIS team, but I suspect that similar sorts of criticisms abound from most fanbases when things do not go as planned for their favourite team."

And so is this:

"posters who disliked the hire continue to forward these fairly trivial to downright meaningless criticisms, and I suspect that nothing outside of winning the Stanley Cup will ever change their minds."

You have no empirical evidence that his critics can't change their minds lol
