1 bad season doesn't mean you need to blow it up. That being said, a lot of the issues that plagued them last year continue into this season. The blue line needs to be addressed, but the core of youn players that everyone was excited about still have the same talent and potential as last year.

I'm excited about the future of this team if they mke the right moves. I think the next year will be a defining moment for Holmgren.

The issues that existed last year are exacerbated by the struggles to score, both for the kids and the veterans.

Last year, the could exploit teams better than this year to get more goals. This year they can't score as much, so the defensive issue become paramount.

(frank)ing travesty

Can't believe Gauthiers number isn't retired yet

Need to upgrade blueline.

Why change the lineup? Chemistry was at its best yesterday.

Ask Jam Master P. I'd hope it's Foster, but Huskins told the media he was in tonight, not who he's in for

Which is on the coach for not making enough adjustments and the GM for throwing pennies down a wishing well for Suter and Parise instead of getting attainable and valuable assets.

They were a better team talent wise last year also IMO.

Absolutely, it's not one guy. As much as I female dog about Laviolette, I know that the Blame goes from the corporate suites to the ice.

Honestly, more than a #1 d-man, I think this team needs guidance.

A consistent direction from management, players who fit the mold set out by the organization and desired style of play, and most of all guidance from veteran players.

Players who have the right consistent attitude. Its about more than numbers and statistical production. I think this thing, needs to be built right. For one god damn time build it the right way. It may take a little bit of time, but to win, and be a consistent elite team, instead of flirting with hot streaks, they need to do it right imo. Step one, is building a culture.

maybe bring a priest in?

No denying that, the hope for the kids to avoid sophomore slumps didn't work. The hope for the vets to continue playing well, fell short too.

Who did we miss out on again D wise going after those guys?

Carle and I don't remember who else. Feaster screwed us all over by giving Wideman that ridiculous deal on July 1st.

Yup. Kids are still young and raw have to be patient. Try to upgrade blueline without trading major pieces.

That D corps makes me scream in agony....

Probably be hard, but try your best to not lose a key piece and get some help.

It may not be for a monster name but get some puck moving defenseman. Even if they are third pairing players.

Like Bruno Gervais?

They need one guy who is at least close to a number one, a guy like Bouwmeester.

You add Bouwmeester you can slot the rest of the defense properly and be solid
