It's just a matter of luck right now. He's getting many glorious scoring chances and just not burying them right now. Bill detailed it nicely a few posts back.

Yea I just touched on it too. I think another big problem is that the drop off from Giroux to the next forward is so sharp that when he isnt on, nobody else really can be the guy to jump right in. Part of that is the age factors, the other is that we only have a few guys in that caliber and they have been hurting.

I think tonight is gonna be a good night for the boys. I saw a hawk swoop down and grab a rat/mouse (??) as I was walking into work today. Not only was it badass but it was also a sign. (i will have convinced myself of this before the day is out)

What do you think? Brygalov again? I'd like to get him back out there partially as a reward for his shut out and partially to put the gimmick (shoot out) behind him.

JVR & L Schenn will stage a blind collision at center ice ending all trade speculation.

We really need at least 4 out of the next 6 points this weekend if we are going to keep pace with the rest of the Atlantic, and 2 of those have to come against the Rangers. The Devils and Pens are nipping at our toes, and the Flyers have let an Eastern Conference lead dwindle to 4th. Ranger have points and Games on hand on us, these guys need to get going now. A 500 record, which is really below 500 because of SO losses is just horrible in the last 25 games...
