Let's all rejoice in the drop 3 rule! Seriously, I got 5 points (although I missed Friday but I doubt that would've helped much). And I got 1 of the points from my doubled up game. I didn't think this weekend looked that bad at first but dear lord, that was painful.

I meant to make my picks first thing this morning when I got to the office. Clearly, that didn't happen. Lucky for me, we have the new drop 3 rule so hopefully this won't affect me too badly! Here's my picks for the rest of the weekend: Saturday: NY Rangers @ Boston Colorado @ Buffalo Pittsburgh @ Toronto New Jersey @ Montreal Florida @ Ottawa Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia Washington @ Atlanta x2 Anaheim @ Nashville Chicago @ Minnesota NY Islanders @ Phoenix Calgary @ Vancouver St Louis @ Los Angeles Detroit @ San Jose Sunday: Ottawa @ Carolina Dallas @ Columbus Anaheim @ Chicago

When I saw the topic, I was going to respond with this book as well. It's not so much about the pictures but it's easy to pick up read a small section at time. I ordered it very inexpensively last month off of Amazon and couldn't put it down the first night. I handed it to my Dad and just to show him what it was and he "borrowed" it for the next hour because he couldn't put it down either.

Hey Aussie, I'm not seeing my name on the point totals list!

GAHHHHHHH I'm late. I have no idea if any of these were 7 p.m. games so feel free to not count those since it's 7:06 p.m. right now!!!!

I guess I'm happy to hear that everyone's picks were as brutal as mine. I was really bummed out going 5/14 yesterday. Saturday was just terrible. I guess we'll find out just how bad it really was in a few minutes.

My family and I have had season tickets for the last 3 seasons so I've been very very very spoiled. It's like an hour drive to the Joe from here so it's not too bad. We didn't renew our tickets this year with my younger brother's hockey schedule and my work schedule (not to mention the incredible cost) so I've only been to 1 preseason game so far, plus the game I went to in Toronto last weekend. I am going next Friday night against the Panthers though!

Too sleepy to think. All instincts. I usually score better that way anyway. Friday: Minnesota @ Washington NY Islanders @ Carolina Anaheim @ Columbus Calgary @ Buffalo Los Angeles @ Atlanta Toronto @ Chicago Saturday: NY Rangers @ Ottawa Calgary @ Toronto Washington @ New Jersey Buffalo @ Philadelphia NY Islanders @ Florida Anaheim @ Detroit Boston @ Pittsburgh Los Angeles @ Tampa Bay San Jose @ St Louis Montreal @ Nashville Dallas @ Phoenix Vancouver @ Colorado Sunday: Minnesota @ Carolina Edmonton @ Atlanta San Jose @ Chicago

I need to not overthink and just go with my instincts. Let's see how that works out... Friday: NY Islanders @ New Jersey Toronto @ Carolina Philadelphia @ Buffalo Washington @ Florida Vancouver @ Dallas Chicago @ Colorado Saturday: Nashville @ Los Angeles Buffalo @ Boston Detroit @ Toronto Tampa Bay @ Montreal New Jersey @ Ottawa Atlanta @ NY Islanders St Louis @ Philadelphia Florida @ Washington Carolina @ Columbus Dallas @ Minnesota NY Rangers @ Calgary Phoenix @ Anaheim Pittsburgh @ San Jose Sunday: St Louis @ Atlanta Edmonton @ Colorado

Even if the problem is errors that the Dmen are committing, it's the coach's job to remedy that and I would say that there has been more than adequate time for issues like the turnovers and the bad passes in the defensive zone to be addressed. We haven't seen improvement in this area over the last season, last year's playoffs and so far this season; in fact, I would say that it's been getting worse. Maybe there is some kind of communication issue between the Dmen and McCrimmon or some other explanation but regardless, the coach's job to work with the team and fix issues. Defense is the major issue and has been for over a season now. If the defense coach can't fix, adjust, work on that issue, then it's the coach that needs to change, not all of the players. That's not to say that there aren't things that individual players don't need to work on but if after this long nothing has changed with the D as a whole, maybe they just need a new face to say something in a new way. I wouldn't underestimate the influence of someone new. It can't get worse, right? RIGHT?

Yeah, but it's free small curly fries, not a roast beef sandwich. I was just complaining about this about 15 minutes ago, haha. I mean, it's not like they lost a ton of roast beef sandwiches last year.
