Last year the team finished strong . This year they started horribly. There is no connection at all with that nonsense.
Talent makes you better. Dahlin is an uber talent who also sells tickets.
I'm not talking about telling players to tank. Just try the minor league goalie to see if he has a future here. You know Rantaa is as good as gone too.
Last year they had a different coaching staff and a much different lineup. So yeah, there's no connection between this team and that one.
Dahlin won't sell a single ticket in this market until he proves in NHL games that he's a game-changer. Period. I don't know how long you've lived in Arizona but this ain't Canada and nobody around here gets hype for prospects sight unseen anymore - Matt Leinart ring any bells?
And nobody knows if Raanta's staying or going, any more than we know whether the team's staying long-term in Arizona or moving to Houston. Johnny Carson's dead, so let's all let the Carnac routines die too.
