That Mad Men episode was solid gold. Brilliant writing on that series from start to finish.

I'll do you one better -- I avoided the nightmares with a self-induced coma.

I will say this. Mika’s entire vibe has changed significantly in the last 4-5 weeks. His play, his interviews. He seems dialed in and competitive. I always knock the guy so have to give him some credit too.

His body language and demeanor is better than the whoah is me he had going. It's still baffling how much he has lost in terms of speed, shot power+accuracy and puck control.

That may be true, but why was he checked out for the first 3 months of the season? These guys are professionals who get paid a ton of cash, they don't get to pick & choose the parts of the season when they're in the mood to give it their all.

I have a feeling tonight is the night he finally descends from the rafters, they said it would be when we needed him most

Who? Kakko?

Oh I totally agree, and I was killing the guy for his early effort. Just thought I’d call out the change and I hope it continues.

Who? Kakko?

The line of Kakko-Chytil-Buchnevich

when your big money playahs are checked out on even reaching the playoffs, there's only one thing to do.
strive for mediocrity

Krav seems to be having his strongest KHL season. Will Vancouver bring him back?

I'd say it was a mental issue....maybe some form of depression.

Somehow even Tony DeAngelo got another chance, so there's hope.

Upper body injury???

Tin Man....no ticker.

I was at the game last night. The only player who seemed remotely concerned about Igor’s injury was Lindgren. Everyone else was coasting around the ice looking at the ceiling, like they figured Igor was milking another bump. Igor also overplays the puck a ton which interferes with the transition.

 

[its not that serious]

Hoping for an improved performance and a win because that's the whole point.

If you're hoping for losses and a rebuild, stop watching and find a new hobby for a few years, and find something else to incessantly complain about in the meantime.

I have never looked forward to a two-week break more than I am right now.

Tell us you are new here without telling us you are new here.

People are rightfully frustrated. The hope for losses is coming out of the emotion and frustration with the nonchalant attitude. With the way they do not take "lesser" opponents seriously, they deserve to lose. At this point, do you even expect them to get it through their thick skulls that every game is a must win?
