Pitt won it 5 times in 25 years. In the last 35 year, we have 2 appearances and won a total of 2 games.

Yes. They’ve done well. My point is that they were in contention for years and relevant but not now. So your point is if you don’t win the cup your team is an abject failure every year? That’s the ultimate goal yet but I don’t agree with you.

They don’t call it 47 years of futility for nothing.

did too
- hello it's me 2050


lol. amazing he defends hextall pretty much every day and hes been gone for years. Hextall set up back years. He talks about building up our prospects...that is hilarious. 8 1st round draft picks and here we are, great job building up our prospects. I guess if you compare it to not having any, but anyone would have had a couple prospects with all those picks, so ya....good job hextall lol

hahahaha, this is like mjl picking out a stat to prove a point. Saying pens won a bunch doesnt mean anything about how homer did.

I wokldnt call it futility. I call it 46 years without winning it all. That’s the ultimate goal but they’ve been a very successful franchise up until them last 10 years. You’re not talking about the leafs here who have never won 3 rounds of playoffs and haven’t been to the final since 1967 and have lent had any player win any major award. They have the 3rd best points percentage in nhl history and have multiple deep playoff runs.

I wanna sarcastically ask where these points were when we were in playoff contention but it really is good him. Rough few years. We have a lot of guys who need to pick up the slack.

Someone suggested Lindblom for Crouse. I think Arizona looks at that and says “how about Lindblom and a second, for nothing!” And Chuck says “deal!”

Haha. Ok man.

Of course I want them to win every single year. Last year, every team other than Tampa was futile correct?

I’m saying we’ve been a mediocre team since 1987. There have been a few blips here and there but nothing that deserves a nostalgic view. Homer is both part of the problem and a symptom of it but not all of it.

I am saying that pining for the good old days when we almost did some thing isn’t much.

Actually. You said we’ve been futile since 75. I think they are a successful franchise overall which needs to sort out a path back to contention. With a consistent ability to contend you increase your chances but still need things to fall in place. Ie an amount of luck.
