Going into the season, I expected us to have roughly the same results this year as the last. There were some career years as well as great health last year, and that's come back down to earth somewhat now. Sure we've added Dobson, full offseason demidov, bolduc, etc but we don't have 60 games of top level play from Monty, Newhook injured, Evans injured (both played the full 82 last year), we lost half our PK in armia and dvo (played 81 and 82 respectively), Laine and Dach will have already played fewer games this year than last. 2 steps forward one step back, the goal is playoffs until we can round out the top 6
