By all means I would have hoped Thomas could have had the procedure done earlier. I would also have hoped that a second procedure would not have been required as is the case. However, what is done is done, or in this case what wasn't done wasn't done. Nothing can change that fact so dwelling on what could have been has no impact on the here and now or the upcoming future. For all we know Thomas could have had the surgery done in February and returned successfully in game one and then blown out a knee on the first play.

I have just as much right to mention my opinion that moving on from events that cannot be changed is healthy as do those that have the right to dwell upon events that cannot be changed. Do I not?

I'm not dwelling on it in the least. It doesn't occupy my time unless we are discussing him on the board. And the fact that his surgery happened much later than was needed and left the team in a a lurch just doesn't set well with me. I simply made up my mind that I'm done with him. He put himself above the team. But like I said I don't dwell on it.

As far as water under the bridge statement we referenced, rough water can do severe damage to the bridge.

Yup. And all you can do at that point is do your best to repair it and move on.

But... but, i thought thomas was gonna be the guy to fix it all

"You'll see."
