tbh, I don't find the board very negative. The debates about "problems" or "negatives" or whatever you want to call them about the team tend to persist just because they create traction for discussion (or, lol, argument).
I mean we could start a "Jonathan Toews appreciation" thread - there wouldn't be much discussion just b/c he's such a good player...although ha ha ha we'd probably start to argue about whether he's better than Stamkos or whoever pretty quickly
Also, I can't speak for everyone but one reason I get frustrated with Q is because I feel that the time to be a bit more experimental and test the upside of players like Morin and Pirri is right now. The time to try to figure out what works and what doesn't work line wise is right now.
I'd rather figure out how good Morin can be for us, whether Bollig is really necessary, where Handzus fits, etc at this point of the season rather the Q being pig headed and running into the problems in March.
Also, to me it's only natural that people (at least some of us - myself included) want to see how our prospects are shaping up/how they fit...rather than seeing Handzus stinking up the joint.
Next year will be interesting with the arrival of Teuvo...I predict angry disagreement over whether he should be in the NHL or AHL.
