Yeah, gotta keep these close. Just a terrible showing all around. Hope we're getting this shit out of our system early. Patterns can become trends, and this isn't a good one.
Well to be honest I have been thinking that maybe some adversity along the way might be a good thing. The last thing we need is for the team to cruise through the regular season and then learn the hard way (yet again) when it counts in believing their own press clippings. Suffer some emotional peaks and valleys a long the way and use the new system/personnel to solve the problems as opposed to the old way.
Of course, we wanted to stomp the Rangers tonight for a little retribution. It's disconcerting how little pop and passion they had in this game tonight.
Yeah, you have a point, now that I have a few hours distance from it. Just like we said about the sending a message early in the season, I guess I'd rather have these losses now than in March. I just find the pattern a little troubling.
And Crosby, you gave me a chuckle with the drowning Bennett bit.
