Where does this roster these past 2 years stand within your all time exciting rosters to watch? For me, only the last place roster team that featured Kyle Calder, Geoff Sanderson Randy Robitaille is worse. Along with with the half season that featured the return of rusty, trading away JvR for Luke Schenn and Bruno Gervais. The problem for me is, the roster of the past two seasons hold similar faces.

I only ask because I'm hanging on to hope that the youngsters will be around much sooner then later.

Watching star players like Giroux and Jake and Simmer and Mase and Ghost and Coots is THE WORST

Watching those boring goalies save 92% of the shots they faced was such a drag.

I think this roster is much more exciting that the early 90s rosters as well.

Why do you hate everything?

Ghost makes the game worth watching by himself, not to mention Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, as well as maybe Provorov. It's better than watching Pelle Eklund and friends. Hell, it's better than watching some of the Carter/Richards teams (08/09, 10/11).

Who on those past rosters equate to Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, VdV (lul wut) Ghost and at times Couturier, Schenn , Mason+Neuvy?

That's why I picked it up. Couldn't find some of the others, but I'll look for them again at some point.
