They are no slouch offensively either, but if there is a weakness it would secondary scoring. Well, they just added a very good player who can provide secondary scoring, with the added bonus of him also being a very strong defensive player, and with Cup winning experience to boot.
Shore up a weakness, and believe it or not they also improve upon their biggest strength.
They're big, they're mean, they play as a team, they're absolute possession and advanced stats monsters on top of everything else.
This is what we've all been waiting for FFS. Get on board already. This team might not win it all, but they sure as hell look good enough to do it so get excited. Otherwise what is the point of being a fan?

Haha I've the same way, been pessimistic about the team for years. That's why I don't even post much about them because I would just be complaining most of the time. But it's hard not to like what they're doing right now although I still want to see how they look in the first round. Good things is Sutter hockey is made for the playoffs.
