Excited for Larsson's snarl, for Damon's full season, for Palmieri to be our right handed Henrique, for Zajac to actually score points, and for Schneider's Vezina nod.
Totally agree. In the NBA you can win with 1 or 2 superstars. You cannot do that in the NHL. If that was the case, the Penguins would have won multiple Cups and the Sabres and Oilers would be dominating the league. To be honest, I think the owners have done very well IMO. Pure speculation on my part but I think they came in, stabilized the financial situation in terms of business operations, then turned their primary focus to building a competitive team. Part of that was moving forward which is where Shero came in. He has made some very smart moves that in no way remind me of the Sixers franchise. He's not pulling a Buffalo from last season, he's making moves that demonstrate he's wanting to build a long term contender. He clearly could not do that without the support of ownership. That's one of the exciting things that I think gets overlooked a little. For the first time in a VERY long time, we have stable ownership with VERY deep pockets. One could point to the lack of that as being a key contributor to us being where we are now. Not the only reason but certainly a big factor. That excites me a lot that we don't have to worry about that happening again and that ownership is committed to getting us back to where we damn sure belong.
5. better locker room tunes to pump up the team
Hey, Eurodance is good stuff, Zubrus had it right.

I'm excited to watch a team that isn't old, slow, lethargic, and just going through the motions.
All of the same but I'll also include:
- The ability to have Zajac with two good goalscorers. Hopefully he can return to some form that resembles a 1C.
That's interesting, because I feel like I saw the opposite. It was almost difficult for me to watch players like Jagr and Elias struggle to compete every night and still come up short.
I think that has something to do with how depressing it was to watch this team in recent years. There's been a lot of intensely competitive players on this team in recent years, and I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to feel that way and underachieve so spectacularly. So count that as another thing I'm excited about for next season.
Getting it started. Thats what will excite me.
Getting it started. Thats what will excite me.
Zacha being signed would excite me. I really want to see what the kid can do in camp and some preseason games.
Same for some of the other kids from development camp, maybe even more so for guys like Blandasi that missed the final scrimmage. Want to see what they got.
I can't wait for hockey to come back either. It's been a long, though certainly eventful, off-season.
Zacha signing would excite me. I know that it should happen relatively soon (since hopefully even Stefan won't miss that August 15th deadline) but it's hard to wait.
It will be awesome to see what guys like Zacha and Blandisi can do in camp.
Yes please.
Like 45 days or so until training camp.
You and me both! But of course he now will haunt my second favorite team, since Doug Wilson had a nervous breakdown and decided to hire him.
I'm also excited for no Oates too!
And add no Mark Fraser and Dainius Zubrus to that as well.
Don't forget this clown :

his helmet made him look like a ****in clown
Eventful to say it mildly. Please just let it all come together well.
