Giving up 3 goals on 22 shots was not exactly an elite perfomance by DP tonight...

I am down just as much as anyone about them, my family was at the last two games BUT

Firesale?  We are 2 games over .500.  Second what guys?  Comrie?  Tank?  We don't have many chips ALSO, we do have an elite goalie a top coach, not too many over-played players and some legit D men (Also some youth there).

Nobody said firesale, i just don't want to wait till next season to see some goal scoring. ;)

Plus, it's a different market now. All of the "name" players are overpayed. They're even starting to overpay 2nd/3rd tier guys.

Well, to his credit, that giveaway goal was on Sutton. :thumbsup:

Yes, no pressure there!

BTW, one goal was a guy left all alone in front. And shots mean zip. It's the quality of them that are important not the number.

If only we can play the entire game with a sense of urgency that we had in the last 5 minutes.

I sold it all, retired and moved to Fabulous Las Vegas!

Yes indeed, but did you notice the lack of confidence on this team?

Particularly the guys without the puck.
Instead of moving to an open spot to command a pass,
they watched and only reacted.

That's the problem. Confidence.

Like Jaffe stated, they need a road trip.

Yep :yes:

Momentum is a big part of this game. Once things get going in either direction they tend to snowball. Hopefully the spring thaw starts tomorrow :)

Completely agree. They move the puck without thinking, they simply react. We get shots, rebounds and scoring chances.

And one other thing, there have been a dozen times when the puck went through someones legs (Hunter) or wasn't lifted from point blank range (Satan) or they had a wide open lane to the net and passed to the corner (Hilbert). These will eventually go in. We are just having a real run of no luck.

Road trip which starts with a payback to the Thrashers.

Let's get out of the funk and do something...

Unfortunately this team has no offence

No more then 2 goals in 13 games ~~ That is ridiculous.

Unfortunately Bill Guerin is turning out to be a bust (SEE YASHIN) Yashin at least scored some goals
Guerin is playing hard and playing good D ~ But he was not brought here to play D.

I would have Marc-Andre Bergeron and Bryan Berard play 25 to 30 minutes a game

Have them totally ignore playing D.

But every time Isles have the puck just keep

Passing it to those two and let those CANNON Slap Shots score some goals.

I'd rather lose games 10-7 then 4-0 :thumbsup:

A BIG problem. They will come and soon, something has to give, a bounce here, a little luck there. We just need our confidence back.
