    Best D on this team isnt that big of a compliment...

    ...it's like saying he is the tallest midget or the thinnest obese guy...

     

    As much as I bitch about this team, the vast majority of players take a couple of years to develop. I pretty much give Dahlin a pass for the entire season.

    I didn't see anything that resembled significant improvement via offseason acquisitions, just a lot of growth potential and about a dozen new names. 

    I was beating that horse around here for a while this summer and getting shouted down... so I just stopped posting for a month or two. I see no evidence that Jason Botterill has a clue how to build a playoff contending team. Talent wins games, not getting along in the room. "New" doesn't mean better. We have an unproven GM, and unproven coach and a lineup filled with unproven players and JAGs....

    BTW - I don't dislike Phil Housley, but this lineup is filled with kids who needs guidance from someone who has done it for many years.

    I have to disagree. Other teams manage to build winners in less time. We are in and endless rebuild.

    No, I totally agree with the last part. That's why I didn't want yet another GM who tried to sell the fan base on a long slow "build from within" rebuild. But, unfortunately I think that's what we have (moved O'Reilly & Kane). So, I figure our best hope for this season is if Dahlin and Middlestadt really make strides as the season progresses.

    Lacks talent? We've got lots of talent. But do we have coaching?

    The talent this team has comes courtesy of sucking so badly for the past decade (Jack, Dahlin, Reinhardt, Casey)… otherwise this is a weak roster. It just is. I'll disagree with everyone around here who says our off-season additions make us better (other than Dahlin). We let two of our top four scorers walk and replaced them with castoffs and non-difference makers, although I like Skinner.

    I'm watching as always on NHL Center Ice in low definition and I am literally getting a little nauseous when the camera pans quickly; the image goes all pixelated and comes out of focus and it's giving me a headache.

     

     

    Ah, so it's not just me!  I posted earlier that everything looked blurry on my feed.  You're right, the CenterIce feed is garbage.  I checked out the Bruins feed, but it is the same.
