I honestly had this team pegged to fight the Bruins for first in the Northeast Division.
They have had more than their share of injuries but the goaltending has been atrocious and injuries or not...they have too much talent on the roster to be doormats right now. It seems their play has become worse as they have gotten a few players back.
I agree Reiger overpayed for some players since the new owner gave him carte blanche...but Lindy has been there for so long...I think it has become stale. He is probly hanging on since they have had a recent history of making solid runs at the end of the year.
I think a shake-up is in order and fairly quick. I don't believe Ruff will make it through the year unless a turnaround is immediate. The Leino signing was awful but I like Pomminville...Roy...Gaustad and Vanek. They are the core and maybe they are not listening to Ruff any more????
Kaleta certainly is not getting the message (undisciplined) and Miller has seemed to be on the verge of checking out of the whole program.
