The difference between you and I Chuck is that you look at this team when it's hot and ignore all the flaws. I look at this team and see a team that wasn't even competitive in 3 games against the Lightning. Matchup wise this is the same team that would play that team again. I don't see them matching up. You have St. Louis who is 39 years old and looked half dead in the finals last year. You have Boyle who is 38, small and is going to be target practice once the bigger NHL forwards decided to hit like they do when the playoffs start. You are talking an 82 game season, possibly 4 playoff series. Those two players are counted on for significant roles. If you think those guys are going to just skate circles around the better teams in the playoffs after 82 games and when teams start to hit, you're wasted.
Basically, you always take the opposite side Chuck to argue. A lot of posters on chat boards do what you do. I used to be super positive about our prospects, got tons of posters like you telling me they sucked, they weren't that good,they aren't ready, they should have drafted this guy. Then when most made the NHL, all I heard was crickets. I was positive on Sather that he turned it around. All I heard from posters like you was he sucked, he's a moron, we haven't won a cup, he should have been fired years ago.
So then when I actually criticized the coaches and team trying to be objective. Then posters switch to positive to argue. Renney was a moron. No, he's great. The team is winning. If he doesn't play prospects it's because they aren't ready. First I supported getting Avery the first time and got tons of crap for it. Then when they brought him back and he was a moron, I was pleading for the team to dump him. Then all I heard was, what a stupid move. We need a spark plug. Losing Avery is the reason the team sucks. Basically, just tons of posters out there who take the opposite just to argue.
