Remember the 4-0 start a couple seasons ago? The team looked way worse in those games than they have so far this year and they missed the playoffs.
Starts are obviously important, but they're not the be all, end all. I'll take good performances and a couple lost points if it means they figure things out as opposed to crap play that masks team issues that gets a couple more points.
Not to go all Alain Vigneault here, but it's about the process.
