I think the bubble "playoff run" gave us, the organization and the city, a false sense of identity. That small sample size was possibly the anomaly. 

Like the 2014-15 Canucks team that gave us false hope and delayed the rebuild?  

Hmmm maybe, I mean we were a team that was trending up and was still in a playoff position before the season got cut short.  

 

I'll say one thing:  fans everywhere LOVE their younger players.  We see it also in the media where everyone is clamoring for the young prospects/players to be thrown up the lineup.  So we will see guys like Boeser, Hoglander, Elias, Podkolzin, Hughes and Rathbone make some nice plays and we hyper focus on those but ignore all the bad sides to these young players.  

 

Young players are inherently inconsistent and on average make more mistakes then their veteran counterparts.  So while we're all happy to have young players in the lineup, we are all underestimating the combined inconstistency of having 9 players who are 25 years and younger and eating up big minutes.
