Cup winners are built from the goal out.

Let's see where they're at at the end of December. We're 9 games in

when do we start believing in the team?
asking for a friend.

Winning a Cup is more important than being entertained imo.
- LeftCoaster

If you a player or coach or mgmt yes.

As a fan, I care more about being entertained. Obviously I want them to win a cup but it's overrated as a fan experience. It's not my name on the cup.

How about now. Dahlin isn't happening; Oilers already have him slotted in their roster for next year.

Whenever you want, but history dictates, American Thanksgiving is your key indicator.

I don't go looking for an "experience", I want them to win a Cup because entertainment and winning go hand in hand. The goal is win a Championship or really what's the point of competing?

Perhaps the Globetrotters vs Washington Generals is more along your lines?

of course I want them to win and it is more entertaining when my team wins but I would rather watch this team be entertaining and barely miss the playoffs or lose in the playoffs than bottom out year after year.

This is why Benning is so incompetent, he is trying to do what I want but ends up doing what you want

Any Del Zotto haters around still?

Looks like the haters are silent about how the game is boring or how much the Canucks suck. But of course they will say its just October.

Best thing is how the young guys are developing and reclamation players adding value with good play. This will accelerate rebuild for prospects proving they are ready able to come in to a competitive environment with an effective coaching system.

Where's the Pouliot haters?

Hey Marwood.
Not a bad 1st game back from being on the road eh?

It's impossible to be at the bottom "forever", the way the draft is set up even a fool could ice a competitive team after six to eight years of even draft mediocre.

I agree, still don't want to emulate the Oilers or Islanders or Blue jackets etc.

Tell that to Coyotes

What a goon.

I remember Beauchamin shaking his head at him one time when little Sammy challenged him, it did not end well for Gagner.

Edmonton gives up a PP goal. Down 4-3.
