I'm not at all worried about the big picture. The sky isn't falling, we just played like garbage two nights in a row. We are missing three Olympic level players, and we probably pushed ourselves just a tad too hard to win a few of those games to keep the streak alive. It's good to lose a few like this now so we have plenty of time to readjust.

Also Sidney Crosby will be playing on our team during the playoffs, so there is that.

Murray on the ice for 4 goals against
- rival22
Ew. I don't like that statistic.

Luckily he'll be third pair when Letang and Martin are back. Playing up hasn't suited Niskanen well either.

Be patient all you want but Clowe hadn't scored ONE goal until tonight. 2 goals right there. Bylsma has to do something. It's embarassing to lose to F'N JOHN TORTO(frank)ARELLA

Even losers get lucky sometimes. I watched George Laraque score a hatty once. Just because Clowe has managed to score it doesn't mean he has changed his strips.

We'd be in a different game if that Iginla rocket had gone in and not hit the post.

I don't think the sky is falling but I'm a little concerned on how slow all 3 players we traded for have looked.

I missed that one.

All the players were helping on D before these last two games. It's like they just stopped. Bylsma probably said "let's take our foot off the accelerator and keep some energy for when it matters most".

You're over thinking it. Significant injuries to your two best D....offensive D too. Sid goes down (irreplaceable) and adding several new guys, it's not going to gel over night.

Morrow is showing me something. He starts to play after he completely blows the coverage. He is the only one throwing the body around.

Iggy, man I sure was expecting a little more maybe he is still waiting for a red team to show up and play.

Murray has the size but if he doesn't use it he will be hard to hide

Not the end of the world here, a letdown is to be expected. I just don't see any bright spots.

Glass fights a lot like Adams, you just watch and wait for him to get knocked out.

I was rooting for asham...glass is horrible... he needs to be waived and Bennett needs to come up.. he waits until pens are down 5-1... there should have been a fight after the first 2 goals.. he is worthless!!!!!!!

this team needs like a week off to get their poop together!!!!! this is horrible., last night I understand.. tonight I do not...

horrible in both zones, horrible in special teams and horrible in skating their as$es off...

clowe > morrow

I think that completes us allowing everyone involved in the trade to score.
