You are one of the posters who tries to put a positive spin on everything and doesn't like when people criticize the team.

It isn't going to work when we have an awful team. You have to let people give their opinions and rant, rather than tell everyone how they are actually wrong.

It wasn't a shot at the coach, I just found it interesting. Especially considering how bad we are defensively anyways.
I'm betting it was even less than that and didn't say anything about losing offence.

I know someone with a pretty strong personal connection to Stenberg. Raves about the kid's skill but also his attitude and desire to be a top player. Take it with a grain of salt but this person has been around a lot of hockey and young players and he loves this kid.

I agree and I was guilty of it earlier tonight. Team sucks, life sucks, we are in the worst damn timeline in history as the world goes nuts, I nor anyone else needs to be sniping fellow fans on here.

First, I find it weird that finding positives spins is so objectionable to some people. Oh well.
Second, I'm not always positive about this team. In fact i expected them to take a step back this season and they are. I'm fine with that.

I find the joy in following my team through the good and bad times. If I didn't find the joy in it, I would find something to spend my time on that did.

So yeah I will continue to find the silver lining in things. Sorry if that's a problem for you.

Nothing on this is any kind of a knock against Wolf in my eyes.

This teams defensive play is woeful.

With advancements in AI it should be pretty easy to find if it is not a completely made up quote.

So are they going with Bahl - Parekh for the rest of the period?

I just saw Bean was paired with Andersson.

It may go a long way if the eternal optimists show some level of awareness and maybe tone down the blind homerism. Being at least a little bit pragmatic will help.

How is expecting them to finish near the bottom of the standings this year being a blind homer or eternal optimist? I assume I'm one of the people you are talking about.
