The “hope and a prayer just get in and anything can happen” attitude that festers in this organization’s psyche like memories of an ex-wife was born entirely out of a fluke run that only happened because they had the best skater in the world, the best goalie in the world, an Olympic-level #1D and Darryl Sutter at the same time.
But instead of learning “best player in the world = good, multiple best players in the world = better, get more best players in the world,” the takeaway was “just get in and anything can happen.”
Such a shame.
