What's wrong with the Jets?  They are no better than us, but they have a lot more talent, don't they?  

Maybe, just maybe, talent alone doesn't make you a winning team. Nah, that can't be true can it Alf?

That's only Winnipeg though. Those other young talented teams are dominating the NHL. Teams like Toronto, Buffalo, Edmonton, Islanders, Avalanche, Coyotes and Florida are just steamrolling the opposition this season.....oh, wait a minute that may not be right.

I know.  I am the worst for wanting us to get elite talent.  These teams you mentioned have guys like that, and they still can't win.  Go figure?

Talent without work effort, desire and commitment to the team success is just a waste of talent.

Give me a group of Bob Gainey's as my forwards any day. He never scored more than 23 goals but the Russian coaches all called him the best player in the world.
