What I've learned is that several here were right! The East is kinda bad, like! I just thought we aged out and that the coach wouldn't aptly adjust! Problem is, Kyle brought in some young legs, Sullivan decided to play a 20 yr old on the blue line (his recent struggles noted) and they modified their structure. They actually look like a low tier playoff team. 7-2-1 Like what the hell?
Early on in that streak they lucked out playing the Canucks 3rd string goalie and nearly blew that lead. Then against FLA BOB'S wife was having a baby they played Knight, garnered a big lead, yet they blew that lead but won in OT. It was a crazy high wire act. But somehow they derived some modicum of confidence through these events. Now, they have belief. They beat a really good team last night. Not the quickest team, but a structured team.
Point is, while I don't see them buying at all, I'm not so sure about a huge sell off now - MP.
