And yet when the coaching stuff makes bad decisions (yes, it is possible) you cry and whine that people dare criticize them. By whining about the negativity here you've become the most negative person here, it's pathetic. Once you realize this board doesn't all hold the same opinions and that some people like Danualt, some people don't, some people like Fiala trade, some people don't then your experience here will stop being so negative and maybe people will take you off the ignore list.
Most of the reactions people have here are based on some combination of emotional and logical processing. Especially immediate reactions.
The McLellan bootlickers have absolved themselves of logical processing and just lean on the emotional response of "OMG LOVE THE KINGS". So, it's easy to jump on the bandwagon that no coaching decision is a bad one.
It's like when you brought up the powerplay and Sturm. The response is/was surely "Well, the powerplay was bad at the time I said it. It was on the players for not executing." There's this lack of awareness that changes in the system takes time and adjustments, for both the players and the coach.
Most of the critics, by and large, acknowledge that things take time. But it's also why there's impatience; because it takes time, there should be a good organizational set-up with all the pieces. Note that we're not complaining about McLellan giving Byfield more minutes. It's because we had a pointed criticism and have changed our stance on a topic now that things have changed. An irrational criticism would be saying that TMac is an idiot for playing Byfield, because Byfield isn't a first-liner yet.
As for Fiala, I didn't like it for a few reasons. I also think it remains to be seen how great the trade is when 1) we're just half a season into a 7-year contract and 2) two of the pieces have yet to play a professional game (both of which could have been of great benefit in the near future)
