The talk in Ottawa is that they underachieved this year, so changes had to be made. They had 85 points this year compared to 99 points last year. Enough to bring in a new GM and clean house on the coaching staff.
I have to think that we underachieved this year. With a four game winning streak to end the year, we ended up with 78 points this year compared to 99 points last year. In fact, only two teams dropped more in points this year (compared to last year) than the Jets. The Habs and the Canucks. But it's pretty clear from the interviews that no significant changes will be made in Jets land.
I am not saying that we should pull an Ottawa and clean house. But I am a bit puzzled that there appears to be no sweat anywhere with such a terrible meltdown from last year. If we want to attribute our let down to special teams and goaltending, then shouldn't there at least be changes there - coaching or players or both? And Jet land seems to be just fine with what's going on - let's just carry on. For me, it seems likes a bit too much apathy. How do you create a culture of winning if when you fail, everyone just says oh well, see you next year?
So then I started thinking - maybe we didn't underachieve this year. Maybe it's just me that believes that, or I am in the minority. Maybe most people feel like we had a good year, or a decent year or a year that was expected.
So I ask - did we underachieve this year? Or is it just me?
