I ain't your buddy, guy! Don't speak for me. I am happy the team is outperforming, but I think more should have been done to ensure a poor performance.
“Right now, I just look at players to say, ‘OK, who’s underperforming? Who might be available?’” he replied. “One thing that is abundantly clear is just get to the playoffs. You have to get there. You don’t need home ice. Yeah, it helps, but this year, I don’t know how much it makes a difference. So get there, and hopefully you’re ascending to your peak. To hit at the right time, that’s important. But these playoffs, when you see Colorado going down and Boston going down, you’re thinking, ‘Man, just get there and see what happens.’

The intention was ALWAYS to make the playoffs.
