  1. We have Demko, Petey, Hughes, Miller, Hronek, Kuz. That’s a great young core. As a group they are at the right age to compete. We need to continue to retool the supporting cast. Unless you believe our core isn’t good enough? But that would be calling for a rebuild and moving our key core guys for pucks and drafting a new core.
  2. Look at the post previous to yours. You’re wrong. This club doesn’t have a recent history of winning lots down the stretch. This year we are winning. And it’s because we are well coached and have an elite young core. We are headed for a 5-8 year period of winning!
  3. BoHo wanted the big contract. He got what he wanted.
  4. Only 26 out of a possible 40 points. No exactly some crazy winning streak, now is it? And we were even worse the previous years of this core. Your argument that this core plays great down the stretch (because there’s no pressure) is wrong. This core is very young and now just showing how great they are and will continue to be.
  5. We aren’t at the 12 game mark. The stretch is the last 20 games. In those we were 10 up and 10 down. Them’s the facts.
  6. Management is following the direction of our owner. His direction has been the same since he bought the club in 2006. This new group is more like Gillis than Benning.
  7. 10 and 10 in the last 20 of 2022. No, we weren’t good down the stretch. This year we are much better.
  8. What is this new management doing that is cutting corners?
  9. Bear will be qualified. He’s way better than Myers.
  10. What’s Demko? Hughes, Petey is two. What’s Demko?
  11. Come on. You’re way too smart a hockey guy to actually believe NHL players are trying to lose.
  12. We were 10 wins and 10 losses over the final 20 games in 2022. No big winning steak gown the stretch.
  13. In the last 20 games of 2022 we went 10 wins and 10 losses. We are now actually winning down the stretch. And not only winning but in most games dominating.
  14. We are waiting for you to list the seasons this core won 14 of their last 20. Where are these winning streaks of which you refer? This is the first and only year we’ve been this good down the stretch.
  15. It’s okay to want one’s team to win. It’s okay to disagree with the team’s direction too. It’s okay to be frustrated because you think the club is building wrong. I see us actually (for the first time ever) having a core that can compete for the cup over a 5-8 year period. We’ve never had a franchise goalie, an elite number one C, and a phenom on D at the same time. And they are all young! We have Miller, Hronek, and Kuz too. With a proper retool of the supporting cast this team is going to be very very good. And we are seeing how good they will be right now.
  16. Which seasons exactly did we have winning streaks over the last 20 games? Name one where we won 14 of 20 with this young core group.
  17. Yup. It’s fun to see our guys playing really well. With this core and Demko why can’t we be a top club, when the supporting cast is retooled?
  18. He is on the ice for half the game. But tbh he’s still a bit young IMHAO (as a player) to be the Captain. Petey will be our Captain.
  19. Do us fans realize how great a player Hughes is? He absolutely dominates games, and is doing it with pretty much AHL level partners. Imagine what he would have accomplished if we kept Tanev, his ideal complimentary partner.
  20. Our guys played a very good defensive game. From that hard to play against style (playing the right way) they dominated all three zones. Our leaders are leading in how the game must be played to be on this team. Huge improvement from “before”.
  21. It’s great to celebrate wins! We dominated. Great effort by all our guys, especially the core.
