Again, not singling you out at all just curious about people's thoughts on this. Sports is such a "what have you done for me lately" business.I

Show that the last 7 years has actually been building towards something promising. Have a good regular season and get into the 2nd round at least. People are tired of the constant results of no playoffs or first round exit. No one is asking for a cup or else. When you embark on a rebuild plan the main goal is to eventually become a contender, not to toil away just trying to get into the playoffs and then be swatted away easily in the first round. So for me, win a round and we'll see how much confidence is restored in the direction the team is going.
The other reason people want a change is last season was particularly abysmal. 7 years into the rebuild with that kind of season is an absolute fail IMO. That can't be an acceptable result for an NHL organization that has been supposedly building something. It was an epic fail.
If everything comes together this season then great, Treliving is a mastermind after all. But its time for tangible results now. Even the most patient around here are going to be hard pressed for defending management if its just more of the same yet again.
