GDT: Mediocre storms collide | Tropical Depressions vs. Bolts

A brain would have caused him to score the goal with his stick in the first place.

No, a brain would have told him to do meth for Seth.

You would think that any one of this team's many super hot second half runs to 11th place would have resulted in some sort of "winning culture" by now. How did none of those runs teach anyone to win, but this one will?

Three years ago we had this debate. The team got hot in the second half and and then when the next season rolled around it was the same old story of a mediocre team going through the motions. The only tangible result from this second half hot streak is that we have a perpetually concussed 1-trick pony instead of Taylor Hall.

The difference between a top 5 pick and 14th overall is not "slight".

The fact that this team has picked once in the top 10 and zero in the top 5 despite missing the playoffs five of the last seven years is a big reason they are where they are today. They basically have two thirds of an awful second line, an AHL bust and Ryan Murphy from all of that trouble.

But at least they learned to win, right?

Nope, they learned to lose. Those "hot runs" you speak of were more than countered by regular season losing streaks, crap PP, and choking away easy wins. That's why they missed the playoffs and shat the bed in games even you paper roster afficionados can't deny were meaningful. Others in the same dogfight had a post-season. They won.

I think the losing streak coincides with the airing of that STH/playoffs commercial.

Did I hear that right? "As we stand on the cusp of another playoff run towards glory"

 

[Clark Gillies]

With the way our history with the Bolts is, coming out of a period tied is an accomplishment.

I am shocked it is scoreless, was expecting a 6-4 type of game.

Ellis is still terrible.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Ellis going tank mode!

The first time I recall seeing it was probably 10-15 games ago, I would think.

Tripp - Canes woes in the 2nd period is a combination of things.

Translation - All around suckiness.

 

[Lazyking]

We should have traded for Bishop.

 

[What the Faulk]

We should have traded for Bishop.

That's the last thing they should have done.
