well, on one hand, it really sucks to be swept first round.
on the other, being down tanguay, schneider, lang and markov pretty much gutted our power play and defense, not to mention offense. it was nice to see kostitsyn put one in the back of the net, but the constant defensive breakdowns without markov patrolling the blue line hurt us a lot.
on the shiny side of the cloud, yannick weber looked really great as a rookie, gorges improved a great deal, and a few of the forwards even looked like their game was on.
supposing we get our boys back in good health (and under contract... god damn we have a lot of UFAs) i think next year is looking pretty damn good for us.
