He will have to something. Chances are they won't do well out West.. Unless Vinny and RJ get injured in surfing accidents

Maybe they will go surfing and get eaten by a Great White!

Like I was saying to PLindbergh31 the other night on here..I can just see it..we suck and should have the number 1 pick but some new rule gets implemented and we get JVR'd to the 3 pick..

I could see it happening.

Let's hope it's a deep draft because this team has more holes to fill than Porn star Lisa Ann

Ya know how they say it's never as bad as you think? I think it's worse

I am not even get pissed off anymore. I have accepted it and I am really hoping for a top pick. I think my kids are having a harder time accepting the fact that we bite!

Nah, this is not as bad as 06-07. Forsberg in and out of the lineup, no goalie, blowouts left and right, etc. At least Giroux and Voracek are getting points.

They will eventually get tired. It must exhausting for them to carry this team every night

Pretty sure there are more than 3 holes to fill on this team, unless you are counting ears and nostrils.

It's been a long time since I seen this team, this bad. No way this team should be this poor right now.

Feel for 28 and 93. They must be exhausted and frustrated to the max.

Maybe not the best analogy but you get what I'm saying. I hate giving up, HATE it, but it's time to just shut it down look into the future. If this team was half as resilient as last year's, they would have already broken out of this funk.

That's even gone. How they came back a bunch of times in the 3rd period. No fight in this team right now. It's a disgrace.

This team was already in trouble before Timonen went down. Once that happened, I'm pretty sure most of the team knew it would be a lost season. I think they tried to not make that happen as much as possible, but they've reverted to the norm.

Not enough talent
Not enough physical play
Dress Rosehill and Stortini for a game just to make them somewhat hard to play against. If you are going to lose at least have players out there that wont just lay down.

Cant play the top line the whole game which they need to do since their is literally not one single player outside of the top line contributing in anyway right now. It's amazing, I realized this would be a tough year but I never thought it would be this bad.. I never thought Couturier, Read and Simmonds would be as useless as they have been .

Do you seriously think that Timonen at 39 would make that much of a difference right now? I don't. It's that bad.

I don't think this is really about talent. If it was, this team would be a lot better. Something else is going on here.

That's too easy..
Timonen does not make the Black Holes produce.
Their just isnt the right mix of player types on this team right now.

Even if they did right now outside of Terry Murray who would replace him on an interim basis ?

I'll take him on the PK and PP but yeah as for strictly ES ice time for defense, your're right. Zero difference.

It's the wrong type of talent mix on this team..

1 player that plays physically
4-5 of the same 3 line players that if they produce at max level they might make it as a 2 line player.
