it is just awful...i've been to four games this season and in person they are tough to watch. They play soft defense, Hiller is off his game, and their passing and checking are atrocious. I don't know what they need.

I hope so...An uptempo offense could really help this team...and instilling the attitude to get the puck out of their defensive zone asap...no more patty cake hockey.

They played great last night, maybe it's something they can build on. Season's is pretty much lost already, unless they can get things rolling ASAP.

It sucks, they got off to a good start this year for once, then Blake goes down and we fall apart...

Don't look now but here they come...they're been on fire since the new year. Any, i mean, ANY chance they make the playoffs? With how crazy the NHL standings, and the Ducks being like 10 points out of 10th place or so...I think there is a remote outside shot. They've been beating some good teams too.

they just have so many teams they have to leapfrog. luckily they have 2-3 less played games than almost every team between them and the last playoff spot. we'll see in a couple of weeks.

Thank god. I wouldn't have known what to do with myself on Sundays and Mondays in the fall/winter. Lots of player movement over the last couple of days and that should continue. They've got a lot of catching up to do.

Damn straight we'll do the fantasy league again. I just have to reactivate it one of these days and an email will be sent out to each of you.
