As a STH I'm more pissed off at this team's general lack of direction.
The team got embarrassed in the playoffs. During the summer, Tree bridged Tkachuk to keep the cap at a reasonable level to help them compete now...and he accomplished nothing else. The team has been nothing more than a .500 team all season with huge effort/execution issues, and Tree has done nothing to improve the team or address any of the issues with it - he also hasn't hired a head coach after his last head coach was a league-wide embarrassment.
As a STH, I'm on board with anything that has purpose. This season? This season seems like a giant waste of everybody's time and he's taken no steps to make sure next year is any better. All we've seen is an acceptance of the "all you need to do is get in" approach, and that pisses me off. The drop in quality of the on-ice product at the Saddledome is also a big point of frustration for me. From this shift towards dumping it in, to the horrid number of times we've been shutout this year - it has just been an awful, directionless season.
