Most brutal thing about the sweep. We have a long wait until the team can redeem themselves.
Yup. The sweep rendered all future regular seasons meaningless. CBJ ****ed up the enjoyment we can get out of hockey October - April.
Vicious.

Might be the perfect time for the Bolts to sell high on Sergachev.Elsewhere, reports have it that Dustin Byfulien is considering retirement. If that happens, the Jets' blueline will be in rough shape, which could easily spark a Laine trade. Which of course would include a new contract for Laine, thus a little more light on this RFA situation.
Hard to imagine the Jets and Laine going much further together, at this point.

It makes me worry about this upcoming season (and the various implications, such as do we take our foot off the gas, do we try to tie or beat 62 wins, do we lose more so we are playing “more meaningful hockey” going into the playoffs), but I was over it when it happened. If I didn’t find it funny it probably would have stung moreI feel like i'm the only one who's over the sweep. That was last season, its in the past. Move on. Who cares what other teams/fans think. All that matters is how they do this year.
I'm not too worried about the regular season. The question is "Will this team be ready come game 1 of the playoffs?". After last year I have no doubt in my mind that they will come out guns blazing and ready to go. I wouldn't be surprised if they treated the last few games of the season as playoff games, or at the very least play hard.It makes me worry about this upcoming season (and the various implications, such as do we take our foot off the gas, do we try to tie or beat 62 wins, do we lose more so we are playing “more meaningful hockey” going into the playoffs), but I was over it when it happened.

Edit: it also does make the regular season seem more meaningless. Not sure if I will get as excited watching the reg season. Maybe I’m not as over it as you

I was talking about playoffs when I said that lol. Should have been more specific.All that matters is how they do after April, that loss killed the regular season. Could go 82-0 or slide into 8th place on the last day, wouldn't matter they just need to make the playoffs and win.

Yeah, but that's the point. All that matters is the playoffs, as brutally proven to us last year. So it makes the regular season feel barely worth following. I mean, we will, but there's this little voice in our heads saying like, "Yeah, we won a game in impressive fashion, buuuuut..."

Honestly, I already felt that way during last regular season. Two Conference Final Game 7 defeats - 2018 being much more painful for obvious reasons - in our last two playoff trips, and we had been hearing about how we were supposed to be the next dynasty for the past several years already (only to see another Eastern team win two Cups in the meantime). I was very much in the "lets just get to April" mode last season, and then...you know.
Nonetheless, you're completely right about it. I'll watch, we'll all watch. It's a duty, really. But, as far as how many craps I have to give, wake me up in April. Nothing that happens until then actually means anything.

They came out guns blazing in game 1 last season too, then adversity hit and they folded like Cooper led teams always seem to do.
I won't trust this team, under Cooper, has what it takes to win it all until they face adversity and overcome it. 0-6 in our last six playoff games, if we don't win the Cup this season we're not winning the Cup with this group.
Sounds like thats your problem.
You said it yourself, "until they face adversity and overcome it". Maybe thats this year. If you "won't" trust the team then I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Hope we make the playoffsAfter the playoff flameout the offseason has been an endless void. Where we know we have the team to make a deep run yet we have to wait 12 months not just the offseason.
Hope we make the playoffs
Maybe they’re still working on a trade, get him to camp somewhere else.Should Domingue have been off the roster by now?

in all fairness a bunch of people would put me as mr positive for the entire org at least in ways. I would bet on that and as far as cooper goes i dont trust him as far as i could throw him and honestly id gas a plane after his past to get him the hell off coaching this team....
I am a faair guy but how many failures? yep all have related injuries and extremely unfortunate times so he gets a pass but when you get 4-8 chances with what we have talent wise you got to question it all in fairness....
what im full scared of above is I HOPE WE MAKE THE PLAYOFFS can we start in a total funk? to me easy YES
can we drop a ton of games to start the year cause cooper has lost our team??? at this point again I am inclined to feel YES.... that is what is scary and I will not keep accepting this bs this wasnt our time...
we are too good not to make it all the way plain and simple too deep too incredible even .... yet we have been the buffalo bills not the new england patriots..... where is bill bellicheck already.... hopefully cooper can do the job i have zero faith in it till after he proves me wrong
