The thrill did it again. Exactly what we’re paying him to do. Tied at 3, going into the third. Just over 5 minutes left, he blows one through to close it out. If I’d actually remembered to watch the whole game I’d have probably been surprised as hell. As it … Read the rest

I figured the Flyers thing wouldn’t carry over against Washington. Even though we smacked them around twice before already, but apparently we were due. By all appearances–well, according to everything I could get my hands on re: that particular game anyway, we ended up pretty flat last night. Did they … Read the rest

I had to check that score twice. No, wait, three times. Really? There’s a 0 in the Flyers column? Against Toronto? No, sorry, against Toskala? For serious? Reality, meet fiction. That just doesn’t happen with this team. Now, if we were playing Carolina… wait, nevermind. That doesn’t happen with them … Read the rest

someone please tell me what happened? We had an awesome game going into the third. Absolutely awesome. Down 1 0 in the first, we came back to knot it up before the end of the period. We jumped ahead in the second, although that didn’t last all too long before … Read the rest

You just knew it was going to be a very bad night after the game should have been 2 1 Leafs. A shot went off the toronto goal post, and less than 15 seconds later, we drew a penalty shot. Or did we? Nope, say the on-ice officials. They say … Read the rest

I’ve run out of things to say about our losses. We sucked. We weren’t shut out, but we still sucked. Philadelphia was all over us like nobody’s business. Some of those goals I don’t think we even tried to get in the way of. I never thought I’d say it, … Read the rest

Can we just duplicate this game and play that for the rest of the season? Seriously. Where was this team on Sunday? And the goals came from folks you wouldn’t expect them to come from this year on top of that. They play the Flyers tonight… oh, dear god I … Read the rest

I think I liked them better when they were losing consistently. Sure, they were sucking. And doing so like nothing else I’ve ever seen. But they were consistent about it. This team’s kind of off somewhere in the land of confusion. One night, they play like the team that was … Read the rest

What? Explain? They go up against a team like the Penguins, and win. They go up against a team like the Bruins, and eventually win. But they go up against Edmonton and they don’t show up? I’m not very good at wrapping my head around that particular prospect. I’m even … Read the rest
