What does success mean to you, Bingo? What would a successful season look like? If it isn't standings, what else is it?
For me, personally, while the standings are great and playoffs are even better, I'd like to watch hockey that doesn't bore me to death.
GG failed at all of those things.

Of course standings matter, but to stop there and not look into what is and isn't working and why a team failed seems a little short sighted to me.
Special teams, goaltending, are they getting out played? All of that matters if you're going to fire a coach. Why did they fail?
It doesn't take any effort to say they missed the playoffs so fire the coach, and it's possible it's not the right thing to do.
