It's not so much limping as stagnating....

Our teams are usually skilled and smart, but not necessarily talented. We also usually have a fair amount of experience. So we play particularly well at the beginning of the season, but don't have a lot of room for improvement.

Martin had a lot of growing to do. Scott did too, as he really wasn't a huge contributor until late last year. And I think the team as a whole had to get used to each other and what it was capable of doing. So we've had a lot of opportunity to grow this year.
