I thought we only had an outside chance of winning 7 games this year. I figured we'd win between 3 to 7 games. So, I'm more than satisfied I'm pleasantly surprised.
I agree McVay / coaching cost us a couple games, and losing some of the good and relatively cheap players from last year also hurt us. If coaching had been better we had to team playing ability to have locked in a WC spot by now or so.
I'd love to make the PO, but if we don't I'm not going to feel bad or disappointed. We have a good team and good coaches.
