Mid Season review
Lets cover a few things first,
who honestly thought Boston would be this good ?
Carolina yes, new Jersey, really?
Vegas, seems to be good every year,
But Dallas at the top.
Same as LA, this good really, wow
Seattle??
Now west to East, Canada teams,
Vancover is a train wreck, that no one knows what to do with
Good players, but in the lower middle, blow it up or on the run retool
Edmonton, Outside of Playoff picture, we did not expect that after decent run in playoffs,
they need a D man, but likely more, sooner rather than later.
Calgary, lose a bunch, rebound with some good signings, future looked bright,
but not doing as well as folks thought, same boat as edmonton.
Winnipeg, To be honest after last year, thought they were on downword trend,
solid team, could make a serious run.
Ottawa, expected a step forward with young guys and veterans they signed,
but not happeneing as folks expected, few more tweaks and next year.
The big Smoke Toronto, Fans live and die with every game, they once again at the top
but as games go on, you see cracks in goal tending and that is not good come Playoffs.
For this team regualr season don't mean shit, if they don't get out of first round this year
( tough job in east) expect some serious changes.
My Beloved Habs, rebuilding, never have they done this, but was needed,
the Still have bad contracts from MB era that will take another year or two
to see go away, so expectations were very low this year.
For first 30 games, played much better than folks expected and were fun to watch.
Not going to be in playoffs but fought hard and entertain with young guys.
Well the wheels fell off the last 10-15 games and its ugly, I am ok with them losing, just not
the way they are losing. With Bedard out there, I say swing for best odds in lottery you can get too.
Lots of good young prospects and lots of draft pics, along wth some decent trade bate, should net them
better odds at draft lottery and more Prospects.
Now we will watch as teams decide to buy or sell and how they move around being capped out,
should be intersting 2nd half, with as always disappointed fans and very happy fans.
Enjoy
