Tell me one thing that you think will change after 20-30 games compared to what we've seen after 5 games and what we know about this team.
One thing? Just one?
1) Zibanejad will round his game out.
2) Ryan as well
3) Wiercioch cannot possibly continue to be as bad as he has been (though he might not be as good as he was during the last 20 games of last season, but definitely better than he has to start this one)
4) we should get the shots disparity closer to even (instead of being out hot by large margins each game)
5) Cowen will probably have a stretch of a few bad games in a row (and the usual suspects will pop in with their "I told you so"'s)
6) Turris won't continue scoring at his current pace
7) Karlsson will be better, that's as guaranteed a guarantee as I can make.
8) Anderson will be better as the season progresses, he always is.
9) Hoffman will go through a rough patch, but most skilled players who play his style of game always do.
10) Ceci's game will improve assuming his D-partner isn't total balls (so either Wier picks his game up, or they re-jig the d-pairs)
And on, and on... I could probably add 10 more points to this list. So much can change in a 20-30 game sample that you just can't account for in a 5 game sample. I mean... do you expect the Anaheim Ducks to score less than 30 goals total over the entire season? A 5-game sample size is barely a drop in the water compared to a full season.
The only thing you can take from those game are the points in the standings, and an idea of what needs improvement. It is hardly indicative of how the rest of the season will play out. Sens fans should be acutely aware of this, considering how last season played out for us.
