I don't think this is a "cup year". This team is still forming and finding that window. New coach, 2 rookie d-men, Bennett not fully cooked yet, Jankowski more consistent, forward depth needs to be deeper (Mangiapane, Klimchuk, Lazar and maybe Rychel need to find an NHL level). I think the window starts next year.
I believe the young goalies are on the rise (poor starts or not this year). I am happy with their progress. I am still one vote that says Parsons-Gillies will be our tandem when we lift the cup.
