Stick-in-Rink Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I feel as if we're watching a rejuvenated team out there. I honestly would have never expected coaching to have made this big of an impact. I don't want to compare this team to the 2011 one.... but has anyone else been seeing flashes of what we saw in 2011? This team has been playing with confidence for the most part, and I thought talent would be abysmal this season outside of Sedins/Kesler/Luongo, but I've seen more heart from our entire team in about a month then I saw all the last 2 years. This team has an actually identity, one which was severely lacking and needed last season. It feels weird, but I actually believe in them to go deep this year. I know a lot of the other teams are much stronger on paper, but with our coaching now intact I feel like if everyone plays their role, we could go very far. Just feeling really hopeful about this team right now. (Copied from my PGT post) Do you guys believe we could have a deep run come play-offs? 0QuoteMultiQuoteEdit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not even a quarter into the season. not even a quarter in and we're seeing a start that hasn't been seen in years, the team showing a lot of grit and toughness to grind all of these road games out and staying competitive against the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick-in-Rink Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not even a quarter into the season. Yeah, I know. But the last 2 seasons have been the most dreary, and now that we're having a start such as this one, with a new coach, I can't help but be optimistic. Not saying we should plan the parade right now, but I don't think we're a mediocre team as most think. Just as Lu said, "Torts won't let us quit."

Tystick Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not even a quarter into the season. The OP is simply saying they look good right now and if they keep it up they could go far. What's wrong with that? I agree OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I don't think we should give up on Booth just yet, he's coming back in a week or so. I'd give him one more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 There's nothing wrong with being positive. Even early in the season. Torts has been great. Since his first press conference, through camp and the first 14 games, the guy has made a positive difference to this team. I'm enjoying it. Great straight forward quotes. Nice human interest stories. Fair decisions with players. And, you simply can't argue with the successful start that the team has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Umm, yea, you are. Nope, not really. It's not an opinion that the team's 14 games into an 82 game season. If their record was the opposite of what it is now and this was a doomsday, sky-is-falling topic I would be pointing out the exact same thing. Keep that in mind. Lots can happen in the next 68 games, temper the expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silfverberg Snipes Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Sedin's are backpacking this team to a playoff spot. I'm enjoying the fact that Torts is okay with giving them big minutes and we're seeing results. The third and fourth lines are thrown in irregular shifts whenever the top lines need a breather. lmfao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNACanuck Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hope the boys can keep it up. Still a long way to go, but its nice to be winning and watching them play with grit and heart thanks to Tort. Just hope we can keep injuries to a minimum and don't burn out quick with the high minutes of play they are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
