Yes, we are having a reality attack. Stripping out the D via trade and injury is icing on the crapper. We have lost 8 in a row to Toronto. Their talent is truly high end. Hopefully, we get there.
On that point, hearing Shaw and Thompson post-game has been refreshing. They acknowledge the problems. They provide context. I get Torts' anti-media gig, but as a fan, I lose some color. Shaw and Thompson are truly students of the game, and their take is a learning experience for me. We are blessed to have those guys on board. I wish we heard more from them.
