Last year, injecting talented young players like Hanifin, Rittich and Lindholm, plus a sparky guy like Ryan, and new coach, gave the team a lot of energy. But then after being totally owned by the Avs in the playoffs, it sucked the swagger out of them. With virtually the same team this season, some of the key players seem jaded like they are just there to punch the clock. They seem to be lacking the extra gear they had last season.
