How often does this team get those? There's a laboring nature to our skating and passing, quick strike is not in our vocabulary. And that's surprising given the skill guys we have. That's going to be a problem in the playoffs because "hard earned" goals are hard to come by as we discovered last season. Going to need the occasional easy goal.
dude, a game in december is gonna be the reason why they wont do well in the playoffs?
i mean the caps absolutely stunk at this time last year. fans were saying if they got in they would be out fast (seems familiar again) and they were 1:30 away from the the ecf (sorry for that)
so your telling me, a team that is absolutely better then last years team is gonna do worse because they arent winning games 10-0?
take a look around the east, the rangers are 2-7 in last 9, the penguins are struggling, the canadiens are up and down, the islanders dont show up for games, we beat tampa twice playing so so, red wings are up and down
if we are bad then imagine how bad the rest of the east is if we are basically the top team in the east (less games played should get the points)
