When a hockey team makes the playoffs for 14 years in a row it means they're a good team. But what happens when they have 4 consecutive first round knock outs? Obviously the team isnt good anymore, but they are finding a way to win in the regular season, which is a feat in itself. But, when a team is as consitant as that, they dont try and improve.
All it takes is for a team to miss the play offs once, and they try and rebuild. It hits the coaches in the face, it kicks the managers in the ass. "We need to get better". In the off season the teams trades most of their old players for young guns and hopes to develop them into talent. While much of the core remains, many players are gone, for the sake of the team.
What does this have to do with Halo and Bungie?
Well Halo and Bungie have made the playoffs since the first marathon game, so to speak. And they havnt missed the post season. So, they arnt trying to get those new players that they need. They arnt shiping out the dust. Sure, Bungie is a dynasty, but they havnt gone deep in the playoffs since Halo 2.
But now, Halo Reach, good or bad, is as good as missing the playoffs.
Halo will take this, and maybe realize that they need to go in a new direction. They will trade away their oldest player, the master cheif, and pick up some young players to help boost the team. They even fired their manager and coach, Bungie.
While they have a rookie coach, halo has picked up some new young talent, and is ready to move in a new direction, and hopfully win that champianship.
As for bungie? They got rid of that Halo guy, got nothing but draft picks. But in the draft, they got to pick whoever they wanted. Halo was a superstar, but couldnt deliver anymore. So they drafted this new kid out of Aerospace. He's got potential, but who knows how he will pan out. But bungie has moved in a new direction, a direction towards that cup.
