  2. 8 game win streak to start the year against some of the best teams in the NHL to now a good chance we don’t even make the playoffs this year. I wish this team didn’t fall off so hard every year

  4. Ya know, I pride myself on being able to say “it’s just a game” and brush off losses, but maaaaan I went to bed angry last night. 

    Merry Christmas and see you all on Saturday

  8. This team simply isn’t good. I used to think that we were only a couple trades away from being true cup contenders but last night broke me.

  9. Serious question: what happened to that team that won 8 in a row about 2 months ago? I liked that team.

  11. Pain meter is easily at 8 for me going into the holidays. At least there’s Christmas, friends and family the next days.

    Happy holidays to you all.

  12. Team has needed a shake up for the better part of two year and they have held Pat. All these rumors flying around but how do you even add at this point? Team is in short term cap hell with a core that’s not good enough.. the bar is so low and they might have to add assets for a cap dump coming out of break just to be compliant. It’s just depressing as hell

  13. This is a middling team consisting of a middling core sprinkled with retirement tour, overpaid, ntc washups. Bad drafting and bad talent assessments by the management crew. This organization needs a decapitation and a renewal with fresh brains.

  15. Last year the season turned for the worst after Christmas break. Since then it’s been very shaky. This team needs to do some serious soul searching during this little break. The problem is easy to identify, just score some goals. They cannot let this season slip out of their grasp, otherwise some very serious chances will occur.

  16. I just hope the boys get a good rest the next few days and come back swinging on Saturday. Maybe Santa will deliver some goals for them
