I'll apply the same to this team, considering the deadweight in the salaries, draft choices (well, some of 'em), etc. to clear. If that's the case, taking the first year and going from a BAD team to a competitive team isn't all bad. Year 2 is playoff-mandatory.<BR/><BR/>Let's give the professionals time to work their magic. As disappointing as this stretch has been, I'll remind anyone who listens to look at the forest for the trees. <BR/><BR/>We'll get there, now that we have a real front office and a real coach. <BR/><BR/>(BTW, did you see that the Jackets are surveying former season ticket holders and seeing what it'll take to get 'em back? That's the sign of a well-run business. I think the adults are in charge now.)<BR/><BR/>GREAT blog.

We have so much trouble winning on the road that every two points that we can get at home feels like a necessity (in fact, they are nearly mandatory at this point). The last three games have been very disappointing to say the least possibly moreso because we are 'right there' points-wise. I guess it is the bittersweet of competing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
