Post #150, responding directly to me. I don't know how to copy the whole post.
"There is a reason why context governs so much of our language, and why there is almost never the expectation that our words—especially those delivered off-the-cuff in response to questions at a press gathering—will be understood so inflexible literally.
No one here or anywhere is under the impression that after making the playoffs Treliving—or any other NHL GM, for that matter—will kick up his feet and declare "mission accomplished!" You must be an exceptionally naive person for suggesting that this is technically satisfying the team's season-goals. That, or you struggle mightily with the art of nuance.
