  1. I’ve always said by January 1 you know what team you are or have.  We’re almost there.  It’s currently the highest scoring team in the NHL.

    This team when healthy is a 100 point team.  

    I don’t know if they can make the playoffs but I wouldn’t bet against this group.  

    And as a fan I couldn’t be happier this is where we are.   A quarter of the roster can barely purchase alcohol.

    2006-07?  2005-06?  1998-1999?


    The 99 and 06 teams we’re supposed to be good


    The debate is definitely between the 1995 and 2005 teams as to which was the biggest shock/accomplishment/out of nowhere unbelievable 

    I’ll always be partial to the teams with Hasek - oh and also my pfp lol. That team was so much fun.
     

    The 2005 team is right there and I think most fans would say it’s that team.  I’m not going to put an argument against that.  But the way it ended left such a sick disappointment it over shadows how unreal that team was.  The ultimate Buffalo what could have been.

  3. Is it not obvious enough how important Muel is to this team?

    If the goaltending is competent and we stay healthy on the back end yes I expect this team to be at a 90 plus point pace.  Just like it started the season.  
     

    And I don’t think we can be too upset about that and if we just fell short.  Just making the playoffs this year would be this franchise’s biggest accomplishment since the 1995-96 team.

  4. You mean turning your sport into one where every single team builds the same way using the same analytics going after the same type of players has created a parity ridden league that’s boring.  

    Stunning.  Who saw this coming?
     

    But at least we got rid of the goons and the stars are safe.  They were all dropping like flies in the 70s and 80s.  Have no clue how this league survived such turbulent violent times.  
     

  5. I answer this question by understanding - teams that win championships aren’t because the fan base pleased the hockey gods or some nonsense

    They win because from the top down nothing but excellence is acceptable.  
     

    Oh and key players stay healthy when it matters.  That’s the luck part of sports.
