I have to say that I can't remember the last time I was this optimistic about "next year" at the end of a season. I'm usually pretty disappointed at the end of the season, and don't really get optimistic until post draft/FFA signings.
Mind you, I wasn't really disappointed at the end of last season. I was actually pretty excited about our finish and also about the upcoming draft. I wouldn't say I was all that optimistic about the upcoming season, though. I was really excited to see how Gaudreau would turn out and to see if Monahan would progress or not, but not overly optimistic about the team's success.
As for this year's end-of-season mindframe... I'm in full "bring-on-October" mode.
