Beyond the complete lack of heart and effort on the ice, I have been struck by the total silence of JD and JK. Where are they? Last year we constantly heard about Davidson's presence in the locker room, saw pictures of Jarmo watching the game intently. This year? Nothing from either of them.
They are doing the same thing that they did in St. Louis. They started with a core, and built from there. If you remember the Blues sucked for a few years under these two until they took off, and haven't looked back since.
Remember "brick by brick"?
JD warned the fan base that it could take a few years to build a contender, and it looks like he was right. I have no doubt that they are evaluating the play of every player, every game. They are not going to make quick, emotional, rash decisions.
I understand that we have a major issue with injuries too many key players right now, but the problem I had with the guys last night was the lack of any emotion, effort, or energy. Nashville came in set the tone, and the CBJ never put up any kind of a fight.
After two periods I saw the writing on the wall, and left.
I work tomorrow, so they will win. They have won every home game that I have been at the Firehouse.
