I think I agree with you here. Fata is more of a stay at home type but being out of NHL game situations/speed he could be just as susceptible to turnovers as guys who think offensively like Bergeron and Berard. I think it's a no brainer which 2 any coach wuld want starting out of those 3...even for defense. Fata is a short term stopgap (on a prayer). If anything, the added icetime to Meyer, Johnson and Martinek could help us. Only thing concerning me is which Kolzig will show up for game tonight (been spotty all year), I do know which Ovechkin will show up so our defensive speed with Sutton and Witt out could help us.

Herein lies my quandry, or perhaps, we have a cunundrum...??? I cannot help but root for this team to win. I would never consider the alernative. Yet, truth be told, I want us to finally get the message that we need to change things here to become a legit cup contender. So, my perfect scenario? We continue to win, make INTELLIGENT moves at the deadline to improve this team LONG TERM and let the chips fall where they may this season. I have no control over their decision making and while my "sell" opnion is well documented, I simply cannot entertain the thought of a total team collapse just to get what I want. Hopefully, the brains that run this organization see it too and make the prudent and sometimes difficult calls to put a contender in place. As always, I'll be watching and rooting for my team. |

and while you do all that, I'm going to try and escape from the daily stress of regular life and simply hope my team wins each and every game I watch for the rest of the season. While enjoying that process, I'm gonna allow our owner and GM worry about how to improve the team for years to come. Big game tonight !!!!

Canada, no problem. You see it your way and I see it mine. Doesn't make either one of us right. Enjoy the game, I will too. |

The least I'd expect is dinner, alcohol and a little sweet talk.
