Nobody has said being positive isn't allowed. You talk about context and upward trends etc... Just as when 19-20 ended they were a 5th seed in the conference and no better than 50-50 to actually win a playoff series. That's context and facts as well.
If the league is in trouble financially that doesn't have anything to do with Windsor. Windsor being in bad financial shape wasn't just due to covid and I don't understand why it's on the fans just to start going regardless of the type of product that is on the ice. Do you go to a movie and say "this was a bad movie ____ actor was terrible" then go to another movie with that same actor because you like movies?? No that doesn't make any sense. It's up to the organization from top to bottom to put out a successful product.
I notice you don't discuss the ownership issue at all. Why should fans trust this ownership group? The group didn't care who they were selling the franchise to and the deal failed. Why should we trust this ownership has the best interests of the franchise at heart?? I certainly don't and that's fine. They are business people running a hockey franchise I don't expect anything else. You can still be a business person and run a successful hockey franchise but we haven't seen that to date.
Easy for you to say when you have no financial skin in the game.
As yes any positive comments on the forum is criticized there is a reason why it's the most reviled forum on these boards for junior hockey.
As for end of the last season where things were trending Windsor by choice decided not chase things like 4 others and we see how that turned out.
Better then I expected 2 good drafts,especially the last,alot of potential moving forward, overall in my view things will be on an upward trend,sometimes standing pat works out,something I doubt you will agree to
There was considerable improvement overall for most, numbers prove it standing wise,stats wise,players drafted,those dealing with team from outside ie agents not denigrating things here but praising,players reporting regardless of coach
Financially I feel bad for the league and teams that are or will suffer including Windsor.
Like I said before any coach hired starts from a better place then before.
Team on the rise always better then team about to start over.
That's Jr hockey.
