Right, and that is the 'frustrating part' that I feel right now.
However, it isn't just the playoff success that I was referring to in my post. People are complaining that the owners are happy being mediocre, that they are cheap, that this is a poorly run franchise. While they haven't had more playoff success than the Oilers have, my point is that this team isn't that perennial embarrassment of an organization, or an organization that is constantly dealing with off-ice issues, operating income issues, etc.
I am completely frustrated as a fan for the lack of playoff success overall since '89, but this is not as terribly run a team as people are wanting to point out. They can be better - the SHOULD be better than this - but at least the focus of the issues is directed at the lack of success in the playoffs and nowhere else for the most part, unlike a number of teams that I am very glad I didn't grow up cheering for.
