But my goodness, what a boring hockey team to watch. I think this is the worst part. I can avoid the Internet, but it is truly a chore to watch my favorite hockey team play. I don't get excited to get home to turn the TV on anymore. I don't get excited watching the team prefer refrigerator size over skill. It just feels like there is nothing to get excited about for this organization, and there won't be for a long time.

This was always going to be the case when they brought back Darryl Sutter. When things are going good and the team was winning his methods are tolerable but when the wins aren't coming and Darryl starts doubling down on what he thinks is best, things can get really ugly. Now that he's starting to have influence on the makeup of the roster it looks like he's trying to rebuild the 2004 team for 2023. It's a slow, plodding, perimeter shooting, dump and chase team. The only hope is that they make the playoffs and can slow down faster, more talented opposition.
