Because it was six weeks ago. And that is a large sample size, of which the team has been playing extremely well since.
I'm not sure how I can be any more clear.
To see them playing as well as they are as of late, and still listening to people whine about how it's below their expectations, is grating.
They aren't going to play .900 hockey to close out the year.
So if your expectations was fighting for first in the west, the numbers as they are have us in a spot where that expectation is no longer realistic.
So people seem to have a choice of looking at what's actually happening right now (the team playing well) or packing it in because you're now set up for disappointment.
There's a lot of good teams in the west and it will be a fight tooth and nail to the finish. With how well they've been playing as of late, I feel pretty good we're going to get in. It's supposed to be a fun pass-time. That fact is easily lost with sizeable contingent of very vocal people.
