from Phil Coffey of NHL.com,
There’s nothing like an early conundrum to the hockey season.
Is it too early for teams that have gotten off to bad starts to panic? Does it really get late early in the NHL?
Or should we all take a deep breath and relax, remembering the time-honored cliché that “it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
The answer, which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone, falls somewhere in the middle.
Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur will not stink out the joint this season, just as Ray Emery likely won’t go 82-0 and Alex Ovechkin isn’t going to score a zillion goals. Well, probably not in Ovie’s case.
Remember, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” OK, no more clichés, I promise.
But Columbus Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock lamented to the Canadian Press: “There’s no such thing as building your team or being patient anymore. That’s all out the window now. Everybody thinks they have a chance to win.”
