[Erick Estrada]

I'm still a huge fan but I'm checking in and out of games. I don't particularly find undisciplined teams entertaining as most games the team is so frustrating it kind of ruins my mood so when they get down early (which is often) and don't look like they feel like competing or playing smart, I change the channel and may tune back in if my Bud Light lamp goes off a couple of times. We have kind of moved past the "potential" phase of the team and they simply aren't getting any better as said above they are on this treadwheel of mediocrity where I can already call the season as somewhere in the range of 90-96 points (basically back where they were under Brent Sutter) which may or may not be good enough to be a fringe playoff team and easy out in the playoffs. This team is never going to be a true cup contender with this coach and this roster. Still not a fair weather fan though. Just a little jaded and tired of the cycle of mediocrity.
