Oh yes it will. Fasten your seat belts, the fun begins in the 08-09 season. Scratch that. The fun begins in Ottawa in June.

Agreed. Next season should be pretty fun. Kids are learning, and add to the mix alot of new prospects and a local ECHL team to watch too. I'm cautiously optimistic. Look how quickly Pittsburgh turned things around with a team built around young stars.

I thought this season was pretty damn good. The team is staying the course and not making idiotic trades, the youngsters are still here and improving, guys coming up from Manchester appear to possess actual talent.

Just watching JMFJ mature has been fantastic. He's beginning to show glimpses of why he was so highly touted. He may yet turn out to be the best player on the current roster.

I'm looking forward to more of the same next season. And a few more wins.

Yes. Only took four years and three top 2 picks. Can't wait until we get one.

We'll still have ECHL quality goaltending.

We're going to suck and miss the playoffs next year.

Bank on it.

We're going to make the playoffs next year.

Bank on that.

They'll start off a little slow to start the season. Be a couple of games under or a couple of games over .500 come December, than they really take off.

Hell, the Stamkos posts didn't start until December. Can't you wait until next season starts and we at least know the make up of the team? Or at least until this season is over?

Even though I wanna hope that next year will be better, I'm thinking it won't be. I was hoping this year would be better than last year, and at some points it was...but then I look at the standings and wish the team would've played better.

I really hope we can get the team some playoff experience next year, but it probably won't happen. If we don't get Stamkos this year I'm wondering if Tavares will be in our future.
