dude...we've been suffering since 94.....it goes way further back then 10yrs, and I wouldn't really call last years finals appearance as a year of "suffering".........or the 1st place finishes or 100pt seasons
2012-13 1st place Shortened season pro rated over 100pts
2013-14 3rd place 100pt season
2014-15 1st place 110pt season
2016-17 1st place 103pt season
Ya, he chose horrible coaches and didn't develop young players really well, but this is not suffering, it sucked, and we had a few crap years for sure, but we also had some good hockey in there also.
go back prior to the Bergevin regime and you'll find some real suffering,
Between 94 and 07, we never finished better then 3rd......that's suffering!!!!
