I think GG is making good progression. The team was amongst the best in the NHL at the end of last season and looked good against Anaheim. Unfortunately we were buried by poor goaltending in the playoffs.
This year has started out much better than last and there is still a lot of room for improvement up and down the line up. The team has looked good on special teams and we move the puck out of our zone well which are all areas that coaching has a major influence on. The team seems to be getting more zone time and we're getting our opponents shots under control. Having a proven starting goalie in net for the 1st time since Kipper is gonna give the team so much confidence as the year moves on. I'd love to see a 3rd line centred by Janko with Bennett and Jagr on the wings. Brouwer and Versteeg on the 4th line with Stajan could create serious match up issues for other teams.
