...that's a start. And I can offer you the dollar values on every goal and assist...but, you may well puke. I do. Every day.

Almost $25 million in roster money, playing with their pee-pees, each and every night.

I take great offense at being called an 'unthinking fan' simply because I don't share your pessimism.

Okay, Tom....suffer your brilliant optimism, when it doesn't come to pass.

I don't WANT to hate this team....they just encourage me to to: failure after pathetic failure.

I expect more. I will not be bound by a blind loyalty. They are fortunate to be in a weak division, this season. They are fortunate to have a core of dedicated and committed players. Horses.

But, they will not contend, with their current attitude and effort. Overall, they are vain and arrogant and stubborn and lazy...

Not a Stanley Cup team. Not by a long-shot.

...good night, mrs. calabash...wish we had heart.
