.....and we are literally no better then we were last season.
Can anyone else explain that for me? Because it is mind boggling.

You are at the point I came to about a month ago.
Add to your list that Jankowski has exceeded expectations
and Hamilton is the top goal scoring D-man in the league
How is this team not fine tuning for a playoff run?
I think that Management has come to the same conclusion between the time they signed Backlund saying they believed in the team they had assembled was good enough to contend and the trade deadline where they did nothing.
What worries me is that I don't see the way they improve. Basically they need to get lucky.
Right now it is as though they are setting up the blame the goalie excuse as it would be totally unexpected if Riitch/Gillies don't cost them a game or 2 down the stretch or even a back from injury Smith.
