Your optimism is admirable, but bro this team is not even close to a playoff team.
34 points, sitting at the bottom of the metro division, 2 10+ game losing streaks, this team stinks. If they make it i will GLADLY pound sand and eat my words, but i just do not see it happening.
Coots is good but hes always banged up though. his last real
Productive year health/stat wise was years ago. hayes as much as a fan fav and good dude he isnt worth what we are paying him. Another one banged up.
Farabee has been a bright spot and allison didnt even get a full game under his belt.
Defense has been a joke, the fact they were so quick to dump ghost meanwhile on the lousy yotes he already has 25 points. 9
More then our best dman. Granted havent watched his actual gameplay so i cant tell you how his defense is, but from a point perspectives hes already 5 away from last years total with us.
Hart can only do so much, his play is a direct result of whats happening in front of him. Hes great, but until we get better we may not get to appreciate it
well not this season i meant if we keep them beyond this season this seasons done lol we would have to go like 30-5 to even have a chance lets get a good pick hopefully keep giroux+risto give guys the time to recover and bounce back next season healthy as fuck
and "this team stinks" is a bit rough we havnt even really seen "this team" the team we have had to ice due to injuries stinks sure that happens when your missing the kind of players we are
what are you talking about couts his last productive year was years ago last season he had 41p in 45gp(.91ppg) season before that was 59 in 69(.86ppg) thats not far off from the back to back 76 pts in 80 and 82 gp(.92/.95ppg)
and i watched ghost in a couple games his play wasnt very good he just gets 22 mins a night leads the team in pp time same old ghost shit more toi because they have worse d then philly
and yeah defense has been a joke its basically where it was when we were like "we need to fill that hole" and got ellis to do so but hes not there i do think risto is an improvement over myers so hopefully we can keep him
and provorov most of the season has had braun as his partner and before AV got fired he played fuckin seeler there at one point
the dude just needs a partner i kinda wish they gave provy-risto more time but sanheim-braun is too big of a shit show
idk how you feel about risto i hope we can keep him he stops plays he clears the net hes he wins most of the puck battles he hits he does what you want a good d man to do sure he doesnt put up 40+ points but the guy can defend
and if Giroux does want out its pretty much full rebuild ship him+risto and pretty much anybody 30+ that we can stockpile picks and go from there
