I don't think it's possible to have a worse record than Buffalo. And I would be shocked if they had a worse record than Edmonton as well. But I hear what you are saying, they would never have the luck to win the draft lottery. How much of a drop off is there from McDavid to Eichel?
- PLindbergh31



Yup, agreed I don't think they will be that bad but I still feel annoyed that we lost out on Kane in a year when we were by far the worst.

From what I have read and seen people talk about McDavid possibly being a generational type talent along the lines of Crosby while Eichel would be a legit number 1 overall any other year. That doesn't really answer but it's what I have been reading for awhile.

Didn't realize the Sabres beat the Habs today. Only 3 points ahead of the slugs. PATHETIC.

This is a great post
Thanks for taking the time to write this out

I guess the best thing right now is to take the long term perspective

But I watch every night too and seasons like this and likely next are pretty (frank)ing hard to take

first bold, there's no guarantee this works, ask the Oilers.

second bold, this is very true & sucks, worse than getting angry at every loss, is getting to a point of not giving a $hit when they lose.

Sure, its real easy to say, "oh, come on 2016-17, yeah, real easy saying it, VS. doing that one day, one game at a time.

There are some sobering numbers out there surrounding this team

That is one of them

And Carolina beat the Pigeons today! Edmonton just secured at least one point in St. Louis. I'm starting to get aboard!!!

Not good enough!

Its amazing we are that low in the standings. Looking at the goal differentials we are in way better shape than the bottom feeders.

Should come by more often

Wish I was had a little more spirit, but this stretch of games has punished me to the core

I don't think Carolina is awful. They were playing most of the games early in the season without both Staal's and Skinner.

06-07 Flyers were 8-15-3 through November

Just saying, we got one hell of a road trip coming up I think we will be very close to that pace

Can't wait till they get back

The tank is in full effect now with our Dmen 100%. General Coburn and Captain AMac guiding this convoy

they have talent there. but overall, i dont think they are playoff contenders. will probably finish as one of the bottom 3 or 4 in the conference. only caught bits and pieces, but the pens generally looked apathetic.

Another sobering number

Any time you are able to legitimately be compared to The Season That Shall Not Be Named, you just aren't doing something right
