My favorite game of the playoffs was game 4 at CarolinaHad really hoped we'd see a couple months of grace before people started chiming in how they have to tear the whole team down, rebuild, tank, make wholesale changes but... nope.
I'm finding too many fans nowadays, leaguewide, have morphed into these all or nothing arm-chair GMs that have reality stuck on ffwd because everything is about how it's going to work in three years or whatever instead of actually enjoying the team on the ice.
It can be fun to talk about but ...
not that long ago people figured the Bruins defence would be toast by now - after trading Hamilton, Boychk, Seids aging out, that Chara would be retired, that they had no one coming along in the system, and couldn't imagine a defence without those guys. How's it look now? They have one of the best young defensive cores in the league.
People didn't think the team could survive losing Marc Savard, Horton, Seguin, Lucic, Iginla, R. Smith, etc. up front or replace the Merlot Line and, although there are questions about the forwards going into the season and eventually some decisions will have to be made, this team just came 2nd in the regular season and Game 7 of The Finals, and us fans got to see them win more games this year than any other team in the league while playing an up-tempo style of hockey.
