i didnt realize this team was so close to the 2012 team.... or the amazing devils cup winning teams. what are we talking about here? at best this was going to be a cinderella story. i dunno who everyone is around here ive only been around for this season. ive never 'lurked' and would only come to hfboards when some big hockey news went down. ok, so i guess i lurked a little but just for news. maybe this is how you guys wanna go about things so whatever, ill stay out of it. but i see blatant negativity more than constructive criticism. talk about the team all you want but stop acting like this is a team filled with stars. its a rebuild way ahead of its years. weve seen what they can do this year and have no reason to think it cant click again in a moment. please dont take it the wrong way, from an outsider i just wonder where some posters allegiance lies. feels like some people are just here to rile others up, are very good at it and disguising themselves. whatever, just gotta hope for the best. this team was picked to do nothing in the offseason. love to see how we play the wings with a full roster. ours was depleted tonight and thats the only fault i see so far. they need everyone at this point. someone goes down and we cant really count on guys like hayes. its a fine line this season. the future looks bright tho. something tells me we wont be a bottom 5 cap team much longer. atleast if they wanna win.
