I am bringing this up again because the topic seems to be getting worse by the week. Ads. Not that there are too many of them. Sure, that is an issue but I'm talking about the content of advertisements. I do not understand the reason for ads that don't tell you about the product, but try to associate their product with an 'image'. I'd be OK with ads, but tell me about your product. Tell me features about your product (a car ad with a bunch of good looking young people smiling as they drive your car but not telling me any features of your car does nothing for me.) Its like the ads that try to get so 'artsy' that you have zero idea what they are for, and then they flash up the name of their product with 2 seconds left in the ad. Guess what genius? I spent the entire first 28 seconds of the ad trying to figure out what it was for....so by the time you revealed your product to me I wasn't really paying attention to the first 28 seconds becuase my mind was on 'what the heck is this for'? Maybe you were showing me your product, maybe you were giving me some features. Maybe you were TRYING to create that image. But if I don't know what it is, you just wasted most of your ad time because I'm likely to forget your entire ad without knowing what it is for. I worked a bit in marketing years ago. I'm not an expert....but I think companies over-complicate things most of the time.

What could KA have even done? (sorry, I don’t think I’ll have many of these left) -
To me, it was Ulmark and relying on Levi to come in a year later. The beginning of the end of the goalie situation. Sure, Ulmark made the decision to leave, then he should’ve traded him at the deadline and got an asset. The not addressing the goalie situation was the last straw.

@Thornyit does matter... and I would take that instead of nothing.... I just think he needs to up and admit he has failed miserably and bring in a whole new crew before the season ends to evaluate this mess and decide when our future looks like... but we are all tired... and frustrated with this incompetence... some thing has to give.
