I don't think a team has ever gone from "rebuilt playoff contender" to out of the race this quickly in human history.
Just over 2 weeks into the season, and the jackets are out of it. I mean, usually even the worst teams are sort of still in the race until thanksgiving....
Howson really pulled hard at the strings of winning this off season.
Which will make it even harder to rebuild the excitement the next time.
The casual sports fan will be that much more skeptical.
"Same Old Jackets"....I don't think so. The same old jackets would at least pick up a few points here and there.
RIP 2011-2012 season.
I just hope Priest is canned along with Howson and Arneil, and replaced with a real hockey mind.
Otherwise there really is not much hope they will get it right with the next rebuild.
