I'm not going to sugar coat this because last night was bad. I definitely drank some of my sorrows watching the game. We for sure have issues that need to be addressed and the lineup needs revision.

HOWEVER, this is sort of what I expected before the season. It's going to take time for this to gel and getting knocked to the canvas might be the wake up call and tempering of expectations that we needed. We could lose the next 10 games and I won't hit panic mode yet. If come March we still have Chytil in Hartford, Kravs is in Russia, we have no answer for 2C, and our big guns aren't producing, then maybe I'll hit the panic button. Until then, I think this is part of the process.

You put the hex on us Jimmy. All the Hughes P U S S Y talk.

if Hughes got hit by that Hall flying elbow to the head he'd miss 3 months

you know why

because he's a P U S S Y

just an annoying night all around, Rangers looked disinterested last night, as did the Yankees, lost my fantasy football QB

Psssst. PSSSSST!
I'll let you in on a little secret... Tampa is a little bit better than us. It might be easier for a player to succeed there.

Another secret: He was mostly injured here. So not only is he on a better team where he can do his thing and guys will cover for him, but he's also healthy while doing so.

Shatty's a female genitalia

I really am one of the last guys to complain about lineup decisions, but if Brendan Lemieux wasn't injured, how do you scratch him vs the Devils, in Jersey, of all places?

McKegg looks like he is using different skates from the pre-season.

I'm just not sure what the point of him on the PP is. He just stands over on the right side like he is glued to the ice and passes it to the point or whoever is down behind the net. I don't know if thats him or whoever drew up the PP

Every time he gets on the ice he falls down

I was just hoping when they were down by 2 Haley would have thrown a flying elbow into Seabiscuit's giant teeth
