I don't think their zero-goal effort was a fluke no. Don't get me wrong, I liked the way they played. But they didn't score man, how is it you were on your feet for a good part of the game? Either you need to get some new more comfortable furniture, or you need to split that eight-ball with someone else next game.

You shut your jinxing whorish mouth young man!

I was something worth cheering for

Geez, a little humility cross

lol....stu'u...you're always welcome to come split an 8-ball with me

Naw, cmon man, that shit was exciting! I agree they have not been finishing, but did you not get the feeling of intensity, of WILLFULLNESS from them last night? They WERE playing the league leading Rags you know, it shouldnt have been a blowout.

Are you really telling me you were sitting on your ass for the last period and overtime and shootout?

So score a few goals without Van & Staff. I don't mean to be overly negative here, but I'll take ugly wins over feelgood loses any day. I take away some positives from last night's game (Miller's play, Leino, Ennis, Myers, etc.), but the fact is they lost, and they lost because they didn't score a goal. And I thought that was the whole point: scoring more goals than the other team and winning.

Interesting, two great games and you think they turned that corner? I hope you're right but I am going to have a hard time believing that. I think they're going to make it fun and interesting but I think they will end 10th.

they had two games with great 60 minute effort. The week long rest did them a world of good but we'll see what happens after they start grinding out the rest of their schedule. Vanek very well would have made a different if he was in the line up but Stafford, seriously??? He is absolutely horrendous this season. Matter of fact, he is worse than Roy and everyone is calling for Roy's head.

So, They may be peeking around the corner but I'm definitely not convinced that they turned it yet.

I'd say the NJ game was decent but nothing like the last two nights.

Damn, i'm still all jacked up about that game last night.

Finally. freaking...finally, this is the team i've been wanting to see for the past two months, THIS is the team that can go out there and compete with the elite. And it's not sickness, it's not who's on what line, it is DESIRE. It is some magical motivation which these guys have not found till the montreal game, and more noticably last nights game against the rags.

If they keep this up (and dear god, I really hope they do) then we can make the playoffs, we can build momentum and actually feel GOOD about the direction this team is going in.

I for one dont want to tank for a good pick, i'm not ready to be the whipping boys of the league. I am invested in this team AND I WANT TO SEE THEM COMPETE.

Last night felt really freaking good, for the first time in a long time I was standing up for a good part of it, invested and interested in every moment.

The question of course is...is this just some fluke? Or was this the sort of game which turns a season around? Could this be a rallying point for this team?
