I'll be there! Going early too to catch some of the Plaza fun...
there is a difference if your team has been good and starts bad or if your team has been bad for 13 years and has a start like this.I think it goes without saying that a win here would be very nice.
After the two Prague games, things went pretty bleak for me. But after seeing Boston get abused score board and physically, Pittsburgh get tossed aside, Edmonton get humiliated, Colorado get pummelled etc. A lot of teams look lethargic and poor in their first games. Makes me feel just a touch more optimistic. Just sucks that we did it two games in a row.
Just don't go 0-3.
God willing. I've practically forgotten this team exists over the last 9 months.I could use a distraction like say, a convincing win.
This team must win 30 at home and have winning record against each division and conference opponent. Simple.This feels like a must win, especially with the next game against Florida, who we match up horrendously with (so do a lot of other teams, I know).
The likelihood of being 1-3 or 0-4 seems high. They then have three winnable games in a row, which would allow them to get over .500. Squeezing points out of games against the big dogs like Florida (or NJ for that matter) is crucial. I'll feel a lot better about things if they can get 3 out of 4 points in the next two and let's say 5 out of 6 of the three after that.
A quick look at November schedule and there is a TON of winnable matchups. They will absolutely need to stack points then. We need to start dominating the teams like Philly, NYI, Montreal, etc. if we want to be a playoff team.
If the team can get their collective heads out of their asses, they could make up ground while teams are still settling into the season.I think it goes without saying that a win here would be very nice.

I knew it was way too early for his returnFigure JJ is going to be dealing with concussion protocol so it's a week from when that occurred at a minimum IIRC.
Sabrehood? This team makes me join the #Wiserhood! Amirite gang?
Peterka will be replaced by Kulich, and who will replace Benson if he can't play? Rousek has apparently already been sent to Rochester, there are no forwards left there.
