Problem is nick...is that is always 'something' that prevents them from winning... Hot goalie, Kipper had an off game, Defence did played poorly, slow start, didn't play 60 minutes.... Take your pick. But it seems to be ALWAYS some excuse.. To me this all adds up to a tee times in early spring.
I think the big first step was these trades by Sutter. It's a clear admission that the team was NOT as good as he thought.. Now it's a matter of finding the chemistry, pairings etc. I'm curious if Sutter is going to try to sign Stajan?? I think Hagmann & Stajan will definitely add depth to their scoring (something they are in desperate need of).
