I don't know how much more of this I can take!
I have hope but it’s against reason. Shero & Bylsma restructured the defense after the Stanley Cup runs. The is first season since that steps have been taken to get some of that back. The D is nowhere near what the 2009 team had. To compensate for that the forwards have to play good defensive hockey and they were doing that....in March. April was another story.
Playing bad D going into the playoffs isn’t a recipe for success. My head knows that but I have hope. Sid is back, if they can hold the Islanders off maybe they can right the ship. Maybe tomorrow is that day.
