News & Notes XLV: Simply Having A Wonderful Canesmastime

Impressive, but just a touch of perspective: those games have been against Philly, TB, Boston, Calgary, and Buffalo, three of which are 3-6-1 over their last 10 games.

Again, still impressive!
But aren't those the games we usually play our worst in and struggle (often an ugly win at best)?

Random thoughts:

I feel like I've seen a few people say this season feels like the 22-23 season to them. I agree in some sense: I think we have a very reasonable path to the ECFs. (Not a guarantee, just a good likelihood of being able to make it there). And beyond that, I wonder if I will be thinking the same thing I thought after that FL sweep: The players gave it all they had and management just didn't assemble a good enough team. I see two differences:

1) Future should be bright--I hate how the Rantanen saga went down and I still wonder what this team would like if he hadn't pulled a James Harden on us-- but the return for him, and our prospects are great.

2) Our players have a couple of more years under their belt. Maybe if Aho, Jarvy, Svech, Koko, Kooch etc., and a couple of the new guys really step up we could try to pull off a miracle run.

Just using this board as my sports diary, don't mind me.
