Sarcasim?

Noooooooooooooooooo, Never would i say anything Sarcastic :angel:

 

You don't need to replace just the batteries in your meter, you should probably throw it out and get a brand new one

 

To explain why I made the sarcastic comment, many here would use the coaching change as fuel to the argument that a coaching change will make a huge difference and turn teams into contenders (but will then shoot down anyone who says you just need to get into the playoffs, no matter the position cause anything can happen, because the Kings 'weren't your average 8th seed"). Much like the coaching change in Pittsburgh a few seasons ago that brought in Bylsma, the Kings and pens had alot of established talent on their teams and were just underachieving or not playing to 100%, the coaching change may have lit a spark under them. A team lacking the kind of talent on the roster that the Kings and Pens had (even the Devils had some great established talent that underperformed last year and showed up this year in the playoffs) can sometimes just need a shake up to get it going. It doesn't always work out that way with teams whos talent isn't quite at the same level

Haven't we been told repeatedly, though, how badly we underachieved this year?

To be fair, the Kings underachieved in the regular season this year with both Murray and Sutter at the helm.

But they had guys like Carter, Richards, Brown, Kopitar, etc. underachieving, compared to Vanek, Staford, Roy, Leino...........
