right now our back end rests on bogo and kulikov and a fragile goalie - homiedclown
Last year our back end rested with Bogo and Gorges and a backup goalie and we weren't losing games by 5 goals. We had the 16th best GA. With Kulikov taking Gorges place and Gorges being on the 3rd pairing we've gotten better. Lehner is healthy and can work out this offseason. He could get hurt, sure, but he did last year and we rode a career backup to a respectable record.
I get we should still upgrade the defense but I still don't get why people act like it's atrocious. If anything it's at least average.
BTW we let in 5 more goals than the Rangers, 2 less than Detroit.

You aint from 'round these parts, are ya?
Wings are the taste of (insert season)....
Just had LaNova bbq wings for lunch. Wish I could post an image of a unicorn getting a back rub from a supermodel on the beach at sunset. - LandlordTom
Hard eating hot wings in 90 degree heat.
Hot italian sausage would have the same effect
Let's make it to the playoffs first, eh? Where it stands right now the defense will be about average and the offense will be better than last year. That's a better team. We needed 12 points to make the playoffs. I feel like the growth of Jack and Sam and the addition of Kulilkov and Okposo get you at least 6 points. Then it's just a dice roll and it's about how do the pieces fall. Does Lehner get hurt. Does Price get hurt. Does Crosby collide with Malkin and both are out long term. Things you can't predict.
We've got a chance and it's more than I could say for the past few years so I'm on board.
