“In the last 3 years, we’ve learned to be patient & I think that now together, as fans & internally (as an organization), we see that it was a good decision to take the time to build a team that will be (competitive) for the long-term.” – Geoff Molson

Well no shit. I don’t think any fan was against this
I think we’re gonna surprise a lot of people this year, including you
It definitely was a good decision but time will tell if the rebuild was successful. We still don’t know how good the Demidov, Reinbacher, Hutson and co will be
I don’t make a habit of thanking billionaires, but Molson really deserves a lot of credit for allowing a down to the studs rebuild. This team is so popular and has such a strong fan base, he could easily have coasted on another decade of mediocrity and made the same amount – maybe even a little more – money. I’m glad he’s showing a commitment to quality. Even if we don’t win a Cup out of this, we’ve got an era of fun, sunshiney hockey to watch.
Have you noticed they’re still advertising tickets for the rookie showcase which are $10 each? The attention just isn’t the same and they’ve probably taken a big monetary hit which the league is probably not happy with since one of their 3 cash cows isn’t giving as much milk. Next summer will be the telling one if the season disappoints.
