To be fair,
you lose you starting goalie but recover
You lose your 1D
You lose your 2D (for a bit)
You lose your 3D (but you expected it because Murray)
You lose your depth D call ups that have been killer (Kukan and Peeke)
You miss your 5D for a chunk
But your system overcomes most of that
Then you also lose your two top scorers and one of your top scorers from the previous year is MIA all year (hurt). Top that off with your only other top line talent is now the focus of other teams since Duchene and Panarin left. Oh and let's not forget your top prospect coming up broke his back.
Yeah, lack of top end talent starting the year and then having the remaining skill players get hurt is not an excuse but really do you expect otherwise?
This team has already overcome so much and worked so hard.

Excellent post. I know people hate excuses, but there is literally nothing they could have done to prevent this from happening. I'm still proud of their efforts this season.

The worst part is we've literally seen a season like this before.

There are excuses, and there are REASONS.
The injury list we've had this season is a reason. I mean, we've lost so many guys that I've forgotten about some of the people we're missing. I never even THINK about the fact that Wennberg is out. Or Dubinsky. Or even Josh Anderson.
Is there anyone that's actually close to coming back?

As a Monsters season ticket holder, it has been awful watching our season go down the toilet, but seeing some of these guys get to go up and actually play and not just watch from the team box, has been fun to watch. I hope next year is better.

I don’t see how that’s possible. Elvis has been great since Korpi got hurt. Our losing skid has nothing to do with Elvis, look at the team that’s playing in front of him.

He's been working on his slap shot?

This is purely your opinion. You cannot state with any amount of certainty that either of these players is "better" than the other one. They have both had moments of brilliance and they have both had moments of suckatude. They both have earned some time in the net. We'll see how this works out.
Goaltending seems to not be an issue with these two guys here and a couple of promising prospects in the pipeline.
People are fond of the expression "the good, the bad, and the ugly".
With us, it's "the bad, the worse, and the f***ing god dammit".

Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Not surprised. I suppose they could have made the decision earlier (presuming surgery is the route taken). I just hope it's not agent shenanigans.
I stopped expecting/waiting for him to come back around the turn of the calendar. But that's same with Texier, Murray, Wennberg, Kukan... Atkinson was 2-3 weeks about 2 weeks ago? So maybe him.
