    Finally, they say it. I’ve been waiting years for one of these fellas to say that.

  2. This holds true for just about every playoff contender in the league but I like his gumption. GLG

    A good first step is to win the division.  Stop taking games off in the regular season 

  4. Ihopeidontpeemyself

    It’s not “to a degree” that’s what it is.

  5. SmashinHearts

    water is wet, honestly this quote is milquetoast. it sounds good to hear but thats about it.

  6. CapsTheArbiter

    Let’s make it to the third round first. Baby steps.

  7. Yeah no shit, isn’t that every year for every team.

  8. He better play with a chip on his shoulder. He was 1 of the 3 players to blame for that pasta game 7 goal.

    I’m just glad to see samsonov gone, him staying buried deep in his crease like that not playing the puck.

    If this team can make it past the 2nd round I’d be happy

    I’ll be happy with the core making it to round 2. Our expectations should be more realistic since we only had one game win in round 2 as the best result in 8 years…

  11. Brother, the fan base will take a competitive 2nd round at this point. We are starving for any sense of progress.

  12. Let’s just focus on getting out of the 1st and 2nd rounds, I think that’s more than fair to expect that, after that it’s kind of a wash on who should win the cup.

    Good to hear

    Honestly this team is too talented to only make it to the first round each year

    I hope losing to Boston AGAIN lit a fire under them

    I know if I was half as talented as them it would burn me up

    Well, Morgan, prepare to be utterly disappointed

  15. _go_ahead_ban_me_

    This phrase is the most asinine thing. Shouldn’t Edmonton be bust this year then? So stupid.

  16. Current-Own

    He thinks. So he’s not attuned to what they really think. When you ‘think’ someone does, it really means that you’re not sure. Typical talking through your hat bull.

  17. types_stuff

    Already I’m liking the vibe around this team over the Doofus/Queef years

  18. Far_Mycologist_8664

    To a degree? It’s the whole enchilada Mo

  19. I think this sub will agree to that. It’s sad that everything about this season will boil down to how well they do in April.
