For those of you dumping on these poor young things. Try to remember last night could have been worse.  This coach has some relative expectations, he knows good hockey players, however these charges  will either  sink or swim in the next two weeks, there will be no middle of the pack trending here.  Despite the Buds' exciting talent and energy, they showed some  breaking signs last night, only time will tell if they are  to the good, or back to the future -- as we have seen before.  For example they have tremendous  energy and some skill, but a wobbly work ethic.  You can't float in the last leg of the hunt. There are currently 3-4 old faces, that are a serious liability to your  Buds' future improvement despite some of the ongoing  concerns. I can name at least two who cost them this game, and some of you won't like who they are.
