I'm starting to suspect Soda is blind in both eyes

You and I could have coached those guys Cobra lol.

This gives me an idea to get players to perform.

And his hands.. aren't able to read braille either

 

[Mighty Makar]

He can't possibly be this bad next season, can he?

Maybe deaf, next to being blind

Decent so far? 10 points..

He's been really good.

10 points, but playing heavy defensive minutes with third and fourth line wingers. The points may not be eye popping but he is contributing on the ice in other ways.

Soda has been a key of our success this year. Seems like he really has taken over that vet leadership roll with all the old farts gone from last season.

I see what you did there

Not intentionally.

He has been much better than last season and is helping the team in other ways than just scoring. The contract is still really bad though and will probably only get worse. If Sakic can find a way out without taking on an equally bad contract, he should take it.

Success? What success?

Success? What success?

Compared to last season, this is a YYYUUUGE success.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Record-wise they're not much better off than they were last season, and their goaltending thus far has been only marginally better.

I get it, they sure LOOK like a much better team than last year's, but I still want to see them get a run put together. They have it within them to do so, but they gotta get some people to settle in their roles. That's unfortunately the consequence of having such a young team and a pretty big and successive run of injuries befalling the roster. No one can settle in yet. And while I'm still nowhere near the FIRE THE COACH bandwagon, they haven't done a stellar job with lineup choices of late.

While I agree onthe goaltending part, the record is streets better than last year.

Avs have 32 points so far. It took them until Feb 7th to hit that last year. Game 50, versus 31 this year.

Yes, I know, this team has already come within one win in December of matching their win total in the entirety of December AND January last season, but they also stumbled badly into December this year and have started the season hovering around .500. Last year's team did that too. So when I see posts saying YUUUUUGE success I certainly don't expect them to collapse like last year's squad, but I'm still saying "let's wait a bit." They certainly LOOK like a better team than last year but they have yet to win more than three games in a row (and that was to start the year) and I believe they only have one victory after trailing in the third. This team can still do worlds better than what they're showing.
