Agree. Dahlin, not particularly close He’s 9th in D scoring and has tied a career high in goals, and I know the expectations for him are rightfully high, but it’s a good sign of a player’s ability when he’s putting up that sort of production and it’s basically a footnote Lol A +

It doesn’t mitigate the disappointment of the year but I’d actually be inclined to consider Byram such an addition that we’ve at least already made some *real progress* on the roster improvement we want: so while I’m still expecting a few things, the strong finish with Byram looking integral along the way does help convince me some of the work is already done -

I’d be excited, too. And, yes, hoping they don’t disappoint on that excitement like they did this year, overall. Like you said, we were excited last summer, too, for the year. -
Agree. Like I said above, it’s quickly becoming something, while unlikely, I think they have a real shot at. Though I’ve been on the “still possible” train the whole time. But it was a very long shot and now its merely a long shot. Still a tough road but very possible.

I’m saying if the results bear it out, he gets credit for it! I can’t understand why this gets framed as a narrative when I’ve always been straight up about measuring based on results, because that was, well, at least my expectation this year. To make it. But I’m not tailoring my position based on the recent results at all. -

How is that fair? I thought I was the one who mentions the goalie thing constantly? Now you are quoting my normal stance and insinuating it’s somehow different now and reflective of agitation? Which is it, honestly? You can absolutely disagree but i haven’t changed my stance at all. I just said IN the post you quoted (WHY do I even write this stuff then) that if we make the playoffs - that’s how we’ll have to evaluate how he managed the roster. If we make the playoffs, that was the goal. I’ll gladly say Adams did a satisfactory job in getting the build to this point. I’ve maintained that all along I don’t get all this aggressiveness and the emojis and stuff -

You said 2 decades. The year in your profile was 2005. That’s 19 years. What a feeble, feeble attempt at “embarrassment” that would have been. What sort of “gotcha” is that? How could that possibly have been my intention? “19 years, not 20?!! This man is a liar!” The *point* of the joke, an intentionally over exaggerated line from the classic children’s movie ELF (2003), set against a meaningless distinction. I’m sorry you didn’t “get it” but it’s fairly obvious I wasn’t trying to embarrass you Hell of a self fulfilling prophecy, tho -

That 7 game skid has been ridiculously key. if they had gone even .500 (below their pace to that point), they’d be 10 up on us
