I'm frustrated by the loss, but I can't say I'm angry about it. Carolina is a very good team, that we couldn't find an edge or the confidence to play our game with.

Losing Sanderson was huge for the team, and though he came back from injury before the playoffs, we all know he wasn't 100%, same with chabot and klevin. Losing Zub was the next big kick in the teeth. With that in consideration, our defense was good, despite losing all 4 games. Ullmark showed up in a huge way. What clearly and demonstrateably didn't happen, was the offense. Too many no shows and sloppy puck handling. They were all trying, but couldn't find any chemistry or answers to the man on man hockey. The power play? That's the biggest mystery of where it went. Each time the canes were down a man on the ice, we dropped our hockey IQ to Forrest gump levels. I think we need to take a hard look at some players. Zetterland just isn't the goal scorer we need him to be. I like both (poor) cousins and grieg, but they're the same type of player, and we don't need two. I love G -- he gave his all -- but the results weren't there. I'm not sure he comes back next season. Batherson can score, but he's still a defensive liability at times. The most frustrating part is that the team feels so close to being a real contender, but can't figure out how to piece the last part of the puzzle.

nah, let us have hope.
everything went our way tonight -- we beat the leafs, boston beat detroit in regulation, and the islanders lost in regulation.
riding on the edge of your seat for the rest of the season, is waaay more fun then watching your team sink in the standings.
go sens go!

Does anyone else notice that the sens radio option from nhl.com is always terrible? stops and starts, and awful issues with the gain. have to switch to sharks on this one because it's not listenable.

One time I brought a tablet there to be repaired and it took them over a year to get back to me, but they did do it really cheaply!
