Just finished watching the game, as it's been an eventful couple of days with the snow, even here in Houston. I did look at the outcome as I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to do another Ottawa game.
San Jose provided a glimpse into what a full rebuild looks like; and it's not pretty. How many years have they been bad? Washington retooled without bottoming out, and with the pieces the B's have, that's possible.
Full rebuilds aren't guaranteed - just look at Buffalo, San Jose, Anaheim. Even if this year is a wash, I'd rather they not go for a five year plan that may not even work.
I'm not too concerned about the New Jersey game; but the only acceptable outcome against Ottawa is a regulation win, after the blown points and points given to them in the two meetings thus far. Curious what Sacco does; I'd give Korpisalo a shot against his former team.
And I know it's not much, but I don't get a lot of practice. Actually, I don't get any.
But I made my first snowman. If the snow hasn't melted, tomorrow I'm making him a girlfriend.
