Yeah it's is clearly how they are thinking. And as a fan, I am very optimistic. and it is exciting. There are signs this team is poised to do very well.
But let's face it, talk is cheap and there are some obstacles before this team starts accomplishing "something pretty great".
Getting out of their division. Anaheim is the 800 pound gorilla and this team needs an answer before they can go anywhere.
The team was still middle of the pack in the regular season and had a losing record in regulation. Goaltending has been a factor for sure, but at the end of the day, the reasons really don't matter. Winning teams win.
So if there's a 3 year window, its time to start winning. A start like last year would be disastrous.
