I don't even have it in me to get mad. Just depressed to be back where we always are. Hope they can find some of the early season magic again, but meh.
Guilty as charged.I think the complete aberration that was the first 5 games skewed expectations for a lot of folks here.
This truth has smacked me in the face real hard already.They are not a good team. Accept it. Center depth is ****. Goaltending is ****. Special teams are ****. Those are the 3 most important things on a hockey team and they are bad at all of those.
I think the early season magic was a combo of the other teams being sloppy and the motivation of new coach new team etc... now the other teams have tightened up their games and the motivation has worn off.I don't even have it in me to get mad.

Why is Jaccob Slavin getting a regular shift on the PP again? He's not integral to zone entries. He's not much of a playmaker or even PP QB. His shot from distance is weak. What do Brind'Amour and co. see in him?
Right now I'm calling it the Lindholm trade as he appears to be best player in the deal. But again, it's early in the season so who really knows.If we admit we suck. It sort of makes the Hamilton trade worse. I liked the trade at the time because it seemed to make us more immediately competitive by sacrificing some future.
so Waddell knows how to win without scoring ?!?!?

Even with Hamilton being misused, he has looked pretty unimpressive for most of the season. His skating is pretty bad and he might as well be 5'6'' the way he uses his size (or doesn't use it in this case).I still think Hamilton is, but until Rod Brind'Amour realizes this, he'll be misused and undervalued.

An actual NHL player in return might have helped. Just saying.If anybody thinks this is better with Skinner.... please leave the room

Give me Hughes.Prediction: we gonna end up as a bottom 5 team in the end of the season.
