we couldn't stop them from scoring, so often our only option was to score even more goals against their sad defense and goaltending. now we still have the same back-end that McD can feast on, plus it just got a lot harder to keep up on the offense.
I'm ready for the slog of a rebuild, but BoA's for the next few years might be the most annoying part of it all.
