I will say I think we feel a lot more confident about the squad going into this season than last? We all pretty much felt we weren't a playoff team last year and we still made it. Didn't go far but still made it, even though we were picked to finish under the line in the conference. This season, some new faces, more experience, I like where we're at.

Yeah. But still some obvious holes. CB is the clear one and some questions on depth. I have optimism though. One source is Struber's demeanor this year compared to last. Last season, he was clear before the season started that the team was not playoff run quality, and that's exactly what the team was.

Definitely the Vanzeir effect. A big time signing goes further with most fans than a dozen smaller signings, and fairly so.

 

I think playoffs were an expectation from most fans after making it in 2021 and getting better in the winter before 2022. Nobody expected a championship though, and if a guy like Vanzeir clicks then that becomes a serious conversation again.

Let's hope Elias keeps it up. 3 goals in preseason so far, me like-y.

They really need to do another town hall like when they hired Marsch... Why are things feeling so shitty, or is it just me?!

I feel like all of us on here feel like they don't even care.... But now we've become complacent like them
I just want Metro to win a title sometime in my lifetime.
