it's only 7 games in. last season's turn around after Bruce came in gave everyone hope and showed that the players had it in them to get it done (make playoffs). asides from the 4th line, the team is basically the same this year. we even got Kuzmenko.
4 of the 7 games lost by 1, 2 of the 7 lost by 2, and only 1 game lost by more than 2. while they definitely didn't play well the first 6 games, the record could still easily have been 2-3-2 or 2-2-3 right now.
Carolina is one of the best teams in the league, and we held off 3-2 without 3 of the regular 6 defensemen, with Burroughs and Brisboise playing 15-18 minutes each. i think they played significantly better than before, despite all the missing players.
