I always had the "You have to beat the best to be the best" mentality, so bring 'em on. If we lose, we weren't the better team.
For some reason, I have a feeling this coming season will be a bit of a disappointment to many. To be honest, I'm still not seeing the scoring punch we drastically needed this past season. Having Chay back will be a plus, but the freshmen, no matter how talented, are still freshmen and won't be the world beaters we all hope they'd be.
Gregoire, Kristo, etc....despite how awesome they've been, they need to pick it up another notch yet. We need a "go to" line that consistently is a threat every time they are on the ice.
