    This is interesting and certainly open to interpretation.

    IMO there have been four “stinkers”: Game 11 (Rangers), 14 (Caps), 20 (Hawks), 21 (Wild).

    Wasnt sure whether to include 24 (Lightning) in there or not. It was certainly the most depressing game of the year, but I didn’t think the issue was effort.

    You're right, certainly subjective. If you only watch one team regularly (not saying you do), it's hard to discern how that team's average effort level compares to other teams' average effort level. Living where I do, I see a lot of Bruins games, and it seems they are more consistent in their level of effort on a nightly basis. But they're on a 4-game skid, so...

    And I also find it difficult to determine how much is due to effort vs. talent.

    What I need to see:

    1. Consistency of effort. Every team throws up a stinker every now and then, but it needs to be once every 10-12 games, not once every four.

    2. Commitment by upper management to improve the team. Make hard decisions about goalie, top 6 winger, etc.

    3. Toughness/grit - you cannot get pushed around and be successful over the long run in the NHL. Especially come playoff time when the whistles get swallowed.

    Disagree. It gets to a point where something is so bad ... that it crosses over into awesomeness.

    The kids call that having "un-swag swag". Personally I think he should go brush-cut or a high-top fade. Anything but that disaster he's sporting now.
