Keep on believing, everyone. This team’s probably going through the doldrums of midseason and looking squarely in the face of a week off (except for one guy). Who amongst us has delivered 110% effort on the day before a long vacation?
Like Rannells said, we got some help from around the league and 63 points at the Break is SPOILING us ROTTEN! AND I’M LOVIN’ IT!!! : ]

Just as an FYI, Montreal loses, Carolina beats the Flightless Foul and the Rangers win. Could have been worse.

Until this team learns to get up for the teams they should beat, they aren’t going deep into the playoffs. God this feels like a Redskins loss.

Yet another bad game. These guys really need to get it together if they want to go deep. They can’t only play a solid game once every four.

What the hell was Semin thinking on that play?

@JAY I think you’re absolutely right. Sometimes I, as do a lot of fans, forget how young this team still is. We do tend to get overexcited over the home run, when we have the capability to destroy a team with a series of singles and doubles. As soon as this team realizes it can consistently and methodically choke a team to death with it’s ability to control the tempo (fast or slow), they will be VERY dangerous.
…and stay the heck out of the box…

@Rannells I agree, sometimes I still think our team is still EARLY in the maturation process, and then we turn around on a dime and do everything right for awhile. For us to hoist the “thingy” we have to work on not having these huge, glaring inconsistencies.
