[Miller Time]

That Edmonton win was great but this team showed for like the first time they can play 60min in like 20 games.

I still think that with normal injuries and the pace we are right now we are easily bottom 10

That's the thing about progress...

During the first 18 games there were definitely positive signs, despite all the doom and gloom.

Some mocked MSL's comments, but they were spot on.

Getting a full 60 min is a welcome flagpost, but there's still a long way to go for that to translate into consistency over weeks & months. Doubt we see that this season, but for the guys in the room, knowing that they are on track is important.

What's funny is that they are 3 points from a POs spot ;p

Yup, we're 3 pts from a playoff spot, too. There are a lot of bad / mediocre teams.

Between injuries, fatigue and puck luck it is hard to hold a good rythm for 82 games. Just look at FLA two years ago, barely making it to the playoffs only to make it to the finals.

I think you can do a lot of good things and have a bad season. Look at Laine or Dach last season being injured, bad things happen. But you can t tolerate bad effort and poor coaching if you want your team to develop.

That would be insane for Chicago , the best C prospect in his draft year , followed by the best D prospect in his draft , Followed by the best wing prospect in the draft back to back to back , surely the hockey gods don't let it happen

Chicago is currently 32nd. I think they're getting another top 3 pick. They're getting one of Misa, Martone, Schaefer or Hagens.

Man reading this board you'd think Laine is McDavid or something instead of a project no other team wanted. Not only he's not gonna materially change anything on this team, he'll most likely actively hurt the team until he gets back to form which might take 20+ games.

The East this year is like the old Norris division.

pens, BJ's, bruins, sens, wings, sabres, isles, flyers are all various degrees of suck

Still think he talks too much, and if we're being honest they played only 2 good games in a row and one of them was against Columbus, so as far as i'm concern i'm gonna wait a little bit before saying that they're back on track......patience being the key word ya know

Truly a miracle for the Hawks, Ducks and Columbus to screw it up and let us have Demidov. For once, we got the guy we needed and wanted.​

He will not hurt the team. He is probably better than any other 2nd line possibility even at 50%.
