The bright side is they should be mentally and physically adjusted to the time zone against EDM and Calgary. I’ll be honest, I’ll be happy to come away from the next two with a point. 

I'd like to get at least 2! 

Calgary did an excellent job replacing Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk with Jonathan Huberdeau MacKenzie Weegar, and Kadri and will be a tough matchup.

Edmonton sure hasn't looked good (especially on defense) Calgary is a very poor man's Hurricanes IMO.

Calgary reminds me of a better version of Columbus.

Tons of offensive firepower, average defense, though they did try to improve it with Weegar, and average to sometimes below average goaltending.

Good recipe for success in the regular season when teams aren’t locking everything down, but not a great recipe for success in the playoffs.

Edmonton annihilated both their defense and Markstrom in the playoffs last year, to the tune of 25 goals in 5 games to be exact.

They were second to us for the Jennings last season new roster but yea.... Playoffs are a different animal.

I watched a couple of those playoff games and, not having the opportunity to see much of either Calgary or Edmonton during the regular season, I was shocked. I was under the impression Calgary was the better team.

    • Said Bryce is part of the wins and plays a key position. Not the same as saying he's the key to the wins. But also not denying he plays a role in them because...well, he did. Even if you limit his contributions to the  game winning drives in the 4th quarter, those still count. And yes, he's improved. but saying that doesn't equate to saying he's good enough to put the franchise label on him. It's just a simple acknowledgement that he's better than he used to be (to what degree is debatable). As to his initial expectations, I'll just say stats aren't the only thing I don't care about. What he is matters way more than what he was expected to be. And what is he? He's what you referenced, a mid-tier quarterback. Not the "worst in the league" or "worst ever" as some claim. That's just hyperbole.  Lots of teams have those. Very few teams have elite ones. And I wouldn't bet on next year's draft having a supply of those either. And again, stats. We used to have a number of folks who bandied about some of Delhomme's stats, Newton's stats, etc. But lets look at a few of those... What metric do you prefer? Yards, perhaps? Well, if those are key then Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and Bo Nix are all doing better than Baker Mayfield right now.  The second best quarterback in the league? Dak Prescott. And Young? Well, he's outpacing CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagavailoa and even Aaron Rodgers. Prefer touchdowns? Cool. On that front, Jared Goff is tied for third in the league with Drake Maye, leading Rodgers, Mayfield. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen among others. Bryce is 15th in the league here, just a single score shy of Rodgers, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Josh Allen.  Ahead of Tagavailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, and Jackson. Interceptions? Holy hell, Bryce has fewer interceptions than Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and, again... Josh Allen. Does that mean I can go out and post on X that Bryce has better ball security than Allen? But wait, are some of these stats...misleading? Or perhaps...out of context? Ya know, it seems like they kinda are. Weird, huh 🤔
    • It's how we ended up with Brian Burns and not Greg Little in the 1st. Dan Snyder overruled his entire staff and took Dwayne Haskins RIP. If Burns had been the selection like many expected, Hurney had already said he was taking Little at 16. That would have brought his 1st round success rate down a few pegs. Woof!
