Their rookie goalie got hot too....ours hasn't. 

Also that was a very good team (as they went on to prove later in the year) that was at the very bottom of the league... we are right where we are expecting to be.

welcome to the latest rendition of fandom

i watched some online discussion about the nba

you know, the fastest growing league in the world

players making bundles and stacks of cash

they have the "best" fan base

have the most intense and well rounded social media fan base

what is interesting is that the nba is so far unable to monetize

the huge online interest of the huge social media presence of its fan base

and has tinkered with its game a bit to cater to its fan base

a very large part of the fan base does not watch entire games

but focuses just on highlights

and that is what drives their interest

the spectacular plays that they can watch in rerun time

the fundamentals of the nba game are starting to disappear

listen to the so called old timers .. shaq, barkley, thomas, etc complain about the current game.. it is more 1 dimensional.. there is less balanced team play

modern fans seem to want small snippets

and more immediate gratification

there is less patience and attention span

so when you live so much in the moment

everything is life or death i guess

everything is more extreme

nucks have a talented pool of prospects

some are in the nhl

some will be here soon

it takes time for this to mature

that requires patience from fans

and some understanding about what this actually means

a part of the fan base seems to lack this insight

i hope the game does not change to cater to these fans though

i'd miss the game of hockey
