next year will be 10 out of 11 years making the playoffs, bank on it

If they qualify, and I believe they will as well, next season wouldn't that make it 11 of 12?

Semantics, the cliff isn't on the horizon quite yet.

When you look at the core and ages, the future doesn't seem so bleak on paper.

But the fact is that sometimes, cores become stale. Doesn't matter how old or young players in it are.

No question the team needs a bit of a refresh but by no means completely blown up.

And when this team does reshape the roster, this summer, I don't think they will look to get players that are a little long in the tooth.

Dave Shapiro had a pretty good article about what went wrong (stuff we all knew) and how the future isn't as bleak as some people think

Good piece, hard to argue the lack of forecheck speed was part of the setback this season.

I don't always remember why people block me, but him I remember

He thought Jonathan Quick should have gotten the 2012 Vezina over Lundqvist and I said some naughty things to him

That's why I asked you a few hours ago - about Buch. Some jerk told me earlier today that Buch was seriously injured. Haven't seen a legit story yet though

This is the first offseason in 6 years that Marc Staal isn't injured and can train for the entire summer.
