You want my answer now, or after we get pasted 6-2 by the Pens tonight?

Right now, we are all trying really really hard not to panic.

Yeah, you know how hard that works.

I'm reminded of what is was like in Boston before the curse of the Bambino was lifted:

Gorgeous July day. Not a cloud in the sky. Bosox in first place, 14 games ahead of the Yankees. Top of the 5th inning, Bosox up 4-2. Opposition batter hits a slow one to the shortstop, which the shortstop bobbles.

And everyone under their breath mutters, "Oh, Lord, here it comes."

And you knew it was coming. You could feel it.

So yeah, panic is just around the corner.

That's a shame. At least we have given up. Sucks to have that sense of doom clinging to you daily.

Didn't realize FG was a she. I'm somewhat relieved now.

That makes this even more amusing. Yep I'm one of those infamous female Flyers fans... We do exist. But I've also been accused of just being a computer program (I prefer virus)...

It's desperation at this point.


It'll all end in tears-

Marvin, the paranoid android.

I was laughing about this in the Leafs thread this morning: you are three points out of a playoff spot.

In Leaftown, we'd be clinging to that. No way would we be out of it until one and a half games were left in the season.

It wouldn't kill him to sit right now. His game is a mess.

If we hadn't played 3 or 4 more games than most of the team in front of us, I'd be clinging, too

We need way too much help. If they make it it'd be a miracle and we're watching them play. There's no water to wine coming bud.

I didn't say we would be thinking rationally...

I'm just saying it's hard to kill the dream here.

It wouldn't kill to sit him.

But I also don't think sitting is the best thing. he's not gaining confidence sitting.

He doesn't look like a confident player right now, for sure.
