I'm fine with the loss. Hiller was in net, what can you expect? The day was a rousing success as far as I'm concerned. UFA's got traded away, and we made a killing. Today was all about the long term. Short term pain for long term gain. BT got us a clip full of bullets for the draft, and we're well on our way to a very high draft pick with a legit shot at Matthews. We have a fully competent GM who proved that he's committed to rebuilding this team properly and not taking any shortcuts. If the hockey gods have any decency, they'll ensure we get that first rounder.
I'm not too concerned about watching the team lose to close out the season. We'll get to finally see some young blood and what they are capable of. Those who want to drown in sorrow are free to do so away from CP and can get back on board the bandwagon come draft day.
Today is a good day.
