This year was a disappointment but any thought that progress would be linear is, IMO, not realistic.

I never used the word linear. I do understand injuries etc happen and can derail a season. I am not impressed with his decision making and it has lead us to non playoff hockey. I don’t see the franchise moving towards relevancy under his regime. Coaching decisions, asset management, free agent signings etc all play a factor. Calgary is lucky to make the playoff every other year at best right now. And when they do make the playoffs it’s an early exit most of the time. Would I like for things to be different? Yes. Do I anticipate things changing dramatically? No. If you believe in Treliving, that’s great. I’m not a fan from what I have seen.
