Cyclical nature of the sport he says...
or maybe it was winning
MacT doesn't really know how right he was when he said that. He thought the cyclical nature was how lots of success breaks your team apart and it takes a long time to build up again. That is true in some cases, but it doesn't take multiple decades to correct things.
What the actual cycle is that ruined our team is MacT himself and his friends. The success of decades ago resulted in a bunch of unqualified dummies getting management jobs they wouldn't have got in any other organization and they ran the team into the ground.
Thankfully, that cycle is almost complete. Too bad for our children they will one day have to see the Hall/Drai/McDavid/Nurse management team running the team into the ground in the 2040/50's. I should be around to see that too, but I think I will be wise enough to just accept it when it happens.
