So, yes, you feign to qualify your remark, but you're still saying Hutton should have stolen this one. That's a big, fat negative. The defense by the Sabres was just bad. Hutton had no support. If we had some consistent, responsible defense from the team, you wouldn't be looking at Hutton as a scapegoat.

Mitts has had a horrible game.

ERod with a 2 on 1...

"Ripped wide by Okposo..."

We're in Hell. At least we're not right next to each other in Hell.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing, but opted not to type it.

I'm having a difficult time blaming our goal-tending. When the team supports the goal-tenders properly, the goal-tenders look near genius. Our guys are getting left out to dry or are beat by deflections off our dudes more than they're reasons for the losses.

His idea of "urgency" is getting angry on the bench. His passing indicates no sense of urgency on the ice.

Eichel needs an energy drink and a trip to Tibet.

Thank God. Keep him on the ice now. Under 4:00 in the first is an embarrassment.

They play hockey like a high-school team.

And Botterill was on the pregame... WTF. I think I'm officially going to occupy the anti-Botterill bunker. Someone get him a speech therapist so he can intelligently thank the Pegulas for the opportunity.

This team sucks. FIRE EVERYBODY!

No flamenco playing, though.

Unless a trade happens this afternoon, you can write off this weekend. A win today will be luck, the next two games...near-luck unless Johansson comes back.

Oh! Way off. Can't imagine adding a "szk" or the like to the sound of "doohickie". Doo-hysz-khey.

So, probably more Anglo than Saxon, likely Scottish or Irish.

Honestly. Was this scenario not mapped out on their boards over the summer? Was Botterill hoping RK could increase the cache of one or two of our D to make a trade irresistible by the rest of the league? Even by adding one good forward, this team still can't afford to hover just below .500 through January. It'll be tenuous all the way through April.
