    just imagine if they were a good home team...having a .500 home record makes the team very questionable

    Yup, it always happens. Lose to a team we're not supposed to and it's a choke job, and we're not good, and the same debbie downer story. ONE game.

    Why would that make the team "very questionable", Al Torts.

    Most teams play over anf beyond at home. This team is .500 at home that is unacceptable. And to lose to shifty teams at home makes it even worse.

    Agree the home record is very disappointing. That span in Dec where they lost 7 of 8 at home was just brutal, but it does not diminish or question in any way what this team has accomplished despite having to start with 9 road games while having a new coach who plays a system that's 180degrees from what they used to have for many years.

    This team definitely needs improvements, but it is a good team.

    There's no disputing the puck control and movement is alot better now, but what is concerning is the decision making in transition and usual inaccuracy. Basically they still don't have enough skill up front and on D. Hopefully FA fixes that.

    In hockey, we see that all the time. So yeah, it's possible.
