I've noticed lately that some media members have started to state things like "This team is more talented than people give them credit for" but overall, it's still referred to as a lunch bucket team that has to work hard because we have no talent. We don't have flashy 1st overall picks or Art Ross winners, but there are some talented hockey players on this team that just lack the name recognition.

The hockey media is notoriously slow to turn around on something once they've built it into their collective mindset. For example, look how long we were a "team built for the playoffs" when in actuality we just kind sucked. How long do you think that think that this lasts?

I predict at least another year after this, even if we make the playoffs this season.
