Weird to say, but I'm with you a bit. If they light up this road trip it probably convinces Murray to stand pat. I'd be perfectly ok with getting 8-10 points and showing there's plenty of room for improvement.
Exactly. I feared that after winning the three games before the trip, that Murray was going to be content with the roster, and only add a small piece.
The Philly win didn't help either, because quite honestly, I think that team is terrible. The fact that it was a game was a joke.
Murray needs to see this team struggle before it's time, because what we have it not enough. Bieksa shouldn't be in the top 4, although this is more for Bruce. Our forward lineup, although better, is not good enough. We still lack in top 6 wingers. I want Murray to recognize that, and not be blinded by our success before the trip, and our success against weak competition.
This fan base is bipolar. So indecisive. Do we suck or not? Are we sellers or not? One bad game and they still got a point. Do you all think these guys are robots? It's comical really. They have been playing some damn good hockey for quite a stretch.
This team will be fine. They will make the playoffs and be a force to be reckoned with.
I don't see anyone saying sell or anything like that.
I for one have always thought this team needed more upgrades, and have been vocal about it constantly. I don't care how good he looks, if Stewart is on your top line, you're not fine on wingers.
I also want Bruce to pull his head out of his ass and do the defensive pairs he that are clearly the best for the team:
Fowler-Despres
Lindholm-Manson
Vatanen-Bieksa
