If you said this team would fail to hit 8o pts this season while McDrai had the seasons they had you would be called a troll, and shouted out.
I didn't think either of McDrai were going to have these types of seasons because I knew full well how little support was on the table, that they would be doing almost all of it themselves. I thought both would falter more under the strain.
Fortunately we had periodic help from Nuge, Chiasson, Kassian. What a craptacular viewing if that didn't even happen.
But on paper this team, this season, was miserable and it was from September. This was never going to be good enough. We would have had to have the return of Lucic, Pulju finding his game, Rieder being his best, and Brodziak still having it to be a worthwhile club.
