Janmark has better wheels than Kostin though.
Anyone else starting to feel the general malaise starting to set in again? Both in the ranks of the team, but also as a fan? I'm so tired of this broken record. How is this team still fighting to just get into the playoffs? They should be a legit contender by now... but no, still just a middling squad. There is ZERO identity. There is no P&V in these players. None.

Fan Malaise has been there all year. They don't sell out games now. There's just an inevitability that they're going to suck. Look how fast people have turned on Campbell, Nurse, etc. There's an incredible amount of frustration that we're this far in to McDavid's career and the team can't get their act together.
It all comes down to management, but it's the one sacred cow here. The media won't even criticize the management for any of their foolish moves. When a change is made, they just bring in another old boy who thinks the same way, so we have the most archaic management in the league, and we've done an unprecedented job at squandering the talent we've been given. I mean, look at the starting goalie that he just committed big money and term to! And that defence isn't just mediocre - they're all signed long-term other than Bouchard. This is the championship defence in Holland's imagination.
Gretzky was in a Finals in his 4th season and won in his 5th. Lemieux won Cups in his 7th and 8th seasons. Lindros was in the Finals in his fifth season. Crosby was in the Finals in his third and won in his fourth. McDavid? This is season 8. Only one deep playoff run, and we went through two pretty weak teams on the way before getting swatted aside easily by the Avs in round 3. Finals? Stanley Cup Champs? It doesn't feel like we're getting closer.

They're not getting closer to being a Stanley Cup contender. They're wildly mediocre in a fortunate division.
The good news is they're getting into the California portion of the schedule. I thought the first half of the year was going to be tough while the home stretch would be pretty kind.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
