In my opinion, the win/loss column and players' stats for this season do not accurately reflect what this team is capable of.
Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, Tkachuk, Ferland, Backlund, Frolik, and Backlund are all very good hockey players. Hamilton, Brodie, and Giordano are top notch defensemen.
Elliot and Johnson are very capable goalies.
I think a mixture of new coaching, Johnny's contract issues, high expectations, and bad luck on the ice have overpowered what the team is capable of.
Things will turn.
