no one wins anything worth **** this time of year unless your jon sim circa '06 and win the scoring title or the rags hoisting the victoria cup in '08 :laugh:

We will need Cory to be at his best to start the season.

It's not the record that I pay attention to but how the team actually looks.
Yes the compete level will rise but I was generally not thrilled on how the team looked in all 3 zones in the games that I watched.

Huberdeau out 3-4 months after that challenge.

Such a massive blow to FLA, hopefully they'll still be able to compete fully for Jags.

Preseason:

Some players working on specific aspects of their game.

Some players working on chemistry.

Some players don't belong.

Some players are getting acclimated to the NHL.

Some players are getting an audition for the future.

Some players are getting an audition for mid season and late season call ups.

Some players are trying to find their rhythm.

Some players are simply trying to learn a new system....and some are doing all of the above.

50% of the defense is new, 50% of the forwards are new, fractured lines and pairings, experiments and I dare anyone to make a coherent analysis of the "team" at this point.

I think you just made about the most coherent analysis of the team that can be made at this point.:laugh:

I really think they need to start wearing those Kevlar socks if they're not. This happened to someone else a couple years ago.

This is the biggest thing for me. Agree.

Same thing happened to Erik Karlsson a couple years ago, I knew it was a pretty big name that it happened to.

It happened to Seguin too, but his wasn't serious.

Claude Julien it was either Madden or Gomez I forget whom but Claude lost the players and they didnt respect him anymore. One of those 2 got pissed after a drill and shot a puck at him. He was fired shortly after. We were in 1st place at the time.

I'm pretty sure it was Madden.
