Guys (and gals).....
We have a sneaky good team. Like playoff caliber team. Adding Dach and Laine to last years core, will have a compounding effect. They bring their own offence to the table, but also free time and space for our other players, instantly lessening the pressure on guys who led us last year. Slaf is a God damn beast. Suzuki is steady eddy. Caufield is the forgotten man with 40 goal potential. We have players looking to prove themselves for new contacts....Dvorak and Armia. And, we have young guns trying to establish themselves in Newhook and Roy. Add in two underappreciated guys who are paid far too much.....Gally and Power Donkey, who in my humble opinion are pretty damn good bottom of the lineup guys, and we have the fixings for something special up front.
On D we have youthful exuberance in Hutson. A reliable young workhorse in Guhle. Matheson and Savard providing veteran leadership and two hungry young bucks in Xhekaj and Barron being pushed by Struble, Mailloux and Reinbacher.
Monty kept us in so many games last year. So many games that we lost by only one goal. He has the potential with a solid team in front of him, to be a top 12ish goalie in the league. Things will be flipped this year, and we are primed to do some serious damage.
Lastly, we have a coach who understands offensive hockey. We are so accustomed to having very little offence on our team, that we can barely comprehend having a PPG player. We have three legitimate players this year, that can do it, or already have. While most likely this all happens next year....I have a sneaky feeling that we explode this year.
What say you? Playoffs or no?
