Really? You call 8 hits in a game heart? You call your #1 getting ran, and nobody fights, heart? Like I said, I'm open to this team at this point......but that's mostly because I LOVE hockey where the defensemen rush. But I don't yet know if this team is fast enough to pull that off......likely not....which is why the goals for/goals against disparity exists.

I think this is a competent team.....the #1 team in the West? No damn way. A cup contender.....not even close. This team is nowhere near tough enough. Call it heart, call it toughness, call it a strawberry daiquiri....I don't care....they don't have it. You can't win without it.

At this point, after 50 years of being a die hard fan....I'm only interested in one win.....the rest of that chit is just Andy and you snorting powdered koolaid off each other's asses.
