There is definitely an adjustment period for forwards in finding their way to score under Sutter, but I have faith at least some of them will get better.

I also feel pretty good that we will beat Ottawa both games.
I don't know. I acknowledge that I'm a pessimist (occupational hazard), but I think I'm also a bit of a dreamer who still believes in fairy tales (like Sutter swoops in, turns season around, and finishes his unfinished business in epic fashion).

But really, shouldn't this fan base be crowding into a suicide booth at this point? We're in year seven of a rebuild (following several other totally unsuccessful multi-year rebuilds), and it looks like it has all been for naught. And that means all we have to look forward to is another painful rebuild which, based on the last thirty years of experience, is hardly an encouraging prospect.
