[Nighthawk]

This team needs to win tonight...

[JD]

This is an absolute MUST-****ING-WIN game.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Glad to see they learned their lesson about penalties... oh wait, they took one 24 seconds in.

You guys are right, they need to wake the hell up and stop believing the hype. We're coming back down to Earth quickly.

If Max is going to come out blazing like that everytime he comes out of the box, I'm fine with him taking penalties :)

[Philagape]

Blown third-period leads two nights in a row.

How many weeks does a "slump" have to go before it's no longer just a slump? Seven? Eight? Nine?

[Tiburon1724]

[JD]

[Makaveli]

Who cares about the president's trophy it's the Eastern Conf. that we want and we want to win our divison and we want the CUP! I could care less about being #1 in the whole league. :idunno: why everyone makes a big deal about it there's an idiot at my work that follows this type of stuff. There's only one trophy in the NHL that this team should want and that is the CUP!

That's the point...when is enough...enough? This "slump" has gone on way to long to just be a bump in the road.

I think it's going to stop on Tues. Lindy is going to put them through the ringer at practice on Mon. ~ Rob Ray tonight on the shootout post game
