Back to back playoff appearances is a good thing. Literally there is no negative to it. However, management said the goal is to win the Stanley Cup. They didn't win a round. By their own standards its a failure.
On the other spectrum, Colorado way over achieved and probably didn't expect to contend for a playoff spot, let alone win 2 games against the #1 seed in the league. They didn't have a failure of a year because they had no expectations. We have expectations (as do they, now), thus our season was a disappointment.
Would you have preferred they say their goal is to merely win a series? Every team's goal is to win the Cup.
