Bob Duff: Gameplan abandoned; Is hope going with it? Three second-period goals propel Dallas to a 5-2 win over Detroit.

Hope has been lost for some time now. As long as Blash & the useless GM are still in power, hope will continue ceasing to exist with each passing day.

Then again, the Hawks & Pens didn't become good until they both had so many top 5 draft picks in a row...maybe they were on to something...
