You guys realize that we beat the Buffalo Sabres, who finished last in the league last year, after getting smoked by the best team in the league the night before, right? Ok, we didn't lose, but winning that game was a classic case of cold comfort IMO. This team, as presently constructed, is still nowhere near "ready for prime time" and will not be able to hang with the top talented teams. And, it's a sluggish, laboring brand of skating I'm seeing out there. Boring to watch, really. I watched much more of the Patriots game last night and I don't even really like football all that much. The starry-eyed dreamers and ostriches with their heads in the sand can continue to remain in denial, but this roster is looking mighty thin in too many spots.
