I agree, but with some exceptions. There are certain things that seem to end up in an organizations culture that have momentum that can't be broken just through the turnover of personnel. Two examples:
- Losing in the first round in the 90s with great teams
- The inability to win in Anaheim
Those seemed to creep into the collective heads of those teams and have actual impact on results. Maybe the first round losses is a stretch, but there was enough data points to say something was going on with Anaheim in their heads.
