A sarcastic response. Nearly as good as providing a counter argument.
I don't know if GG is a good coach or not. After our slow start last season we looked pretty good, one of the best teams in the league for the latter half, top 1/3 special teams. Watch last years playoffs again, we were competitive in almost every single game, had we gotten decent goaltending the series likely goes 6 or 7 games. Losing to a very good Anaheim team 1 year removed from selecting 6th overall is progress.
Are we a little slow out of the gates this year? Yes, definitely. So are a lot of good teams. Also, a lot of bad teams are starting out the season very strong. Do you really believe Vancouver, Colorado and Vegas will be playoff teams come April? I'd put money down that all 3 of them will be golfing. The bottom line is: It's too early to make an assessment of of this (or any) team. So far GG has a pretty good record (making the playoffs was the goal last year, it was achieved), this year we're looking to take the next step - which in my opinion would be making it past the first round.
