I am sure it is out there to comb through with the jump in analytical analysis of all NHL players.
I don't think it is reasonable to assume his health, there is a substantial track record there. I get that goalies sometimes put together miraculous seasons, it would be nice for Jimmy if he did do that.
We are in tight games night in and night out. Bernier or Howard losing even a little of what they are producing means Ls for us in my opinion. Time will tell, again I expect this to be a very rocky month, hopefully the kids can stay with it and the guys keep giving these kind of efforts every night. I won't have a ton to complain about if they keep playing hard but I think December is going to be a lucky to win 4 or 5 games kind of month, that is with a positive outlook in my opinion. We are coming up on our second toughest segment of the schedule after the opening month 10 games being the hardest in my opinion.
One of the reasons the tank aligned this year is the schedule in my opinion. I realize you play the same games and teams no matter what, but the league scheduler gave us a real couple opportunities to have the season go off the cliff. The guys bounced back from the first one to avoid and Avs or Sabres kind of debacle. However, the second tipping point is right in front of us in my opinion. December could run this team permanently in the ditch as well. It will be interesting to see how the young guys handle it. I don't think they will loan him back but it is part of the reason I had always hoped Zadina and Rasmussen would be at the WJC and missing what I expect to be a rocky stretch.
