This team is going nowhere fast. No heart. Soft. Useless top line. Shows up for stretches at a time, then disappears. Same story every year. Will make you believe that they're good for a while, and then crushes your hopes and dreams before the end of the regular season, or in the first round of the playoffs. This hockey team is the only thing this city can rally around in a time of economic fragility and political uncertainty, and still finds another way to make fans depressed. Every. Damn. Year. One playoff series win in 15 years. 4 series wins in 30. That may be an unpopular opinion, but it's the truth. And the truth hurts.
