As a whole for the entire body of work the 21-22 season was a success.

I am focusing on the end result of the season. This isn't soccer the regular season is a means to an end, the point is to compete in the best, most entertaining and rewarding hockey of the year the playoffs.
I fully understand only one team wins the cup and that it is a very difficult task. A team can have a good year without winning the cup from the perspective of a fan. Nevertheless, winning two playoff rounds in 17 years is hardly success by any metric. Losing to your biggest rival in their biggest matchup in 20 years is not fun, or rewarding, it is awful, one of the worst things that can happen to you as a fan. Blowing leads in the third period as a heavy favorite three games in a row and being blow out of the first round isn't entertaining, it is disappointing.
