SMJHL GM Finally a real SHL GM
This is the 1st year since S40 that Halifax isnt in the bottom 2 of the standings, The franchise has officialy turned the corner.
Against This might have been a good take if they had continued their early season ways but their 11 game losing streak shot them back down the rankings and they closed out the season being forced to fight in the first round by completing the slip from 1st to 7th. If they had really changed their ways I don't think they would have fallen so far. A good playoff performance would prove that wrong but I think Colorado might pull out the first round upset. Overall I think they are on an upward trend but not enough to say they have turned the corner. Right now this season is something akin to the Detroit Lions, Start hot and fill the fans with hope. Then the crushing reality of who you are rooting for sets in as they slide down the standings. Scoring in the juniors is way down this year due to all the top level talent leaving to the SHL this season Against I think that the decrease in scoring is not due to the talent called up. With the sophomore year of the gigantic S46 Draft Class, we have an much higher number of capped players across the board. With better goalies and defenders, point production is bound to shrink. This coupled with multiple teams sporting at least 1 full line of capped players makes less of a talent gap across the league. |
