I think with the right coach, this roster can make the playoffs.
I actually can't wait to close the book on the Gulutzan era. Such uninspired hockey. I doubt Quenville gets canned, but Tippett, Darryl and Ruff are available and I am OK with any of those three. If Coach Q becomes available, it'll add to the intrigue.
I almost wish they'd lose 3 games quickly so the misery ends. If they do the unthinkable and win 9 of 12, then I will be happy to go to a playoff game or two.
