And Mike Babcock has officially lost his mind.

Y'know, to be honest, I'm ok with this loss. Or, at least, I'm not as not-ok with it as I've been with the others. Now, maybe that's just me getting used to losing and I'm starting to settle - but, the point was, we deserved to lose this game. I say this for a few reasons, but mainly the fact that I had about 60 mini-heart attacks tonight, one for every time one of their guys got near Jimmy, around the slots, crease with the puck on his stick. There was this, like, defensive black hole in the area in front of Jimmy, wherein a Star with a puck basically meant Jimmy was on his own. And that's just ludicrously soft, slow defense on our part. What Im saying is, every time they got in front of Jimmy and had the puck, it was essentially a prime scoring chance. That sounds like common sense, and it is, but you'd hope your defensive work is good enough that there's no real threat, outside of the goalie not making the save. I dunno if this makes any sense because I'm really tired and drained, but yeah. Had the Stars been out for blood, it could've easily been a blowout. We were lucky that it was as close as it was, lucky to get a point out of it.

Honestly, I don't think it'd make a huge difference. Oh God. We really needed two points tonight.

When's our next game?

Guys not caring enough. The really painful thing is, this is the kind of problem a *VETERAN TEAM* is supposed to not have.

There is something seriously wrong with this time. I mean, beyond the obvious.

I turned the game off because I thought I was jinxing things. As soon as it was off, Dats scored. I deserve an assist.

Sammy on the top line? Are you serious?

******* hell.

Babs on the Stars' goal - "...that's life...." Love it.

Q should be moved. I don't care how. Smith should be converted to forward. Almqvist should be a regular. Kronwall - DeKeyser Ericsson - Kindl Lashoff - Almqvist Sproul and Ouellet move up on the depth chart. Boom.

We chased Smith. Now we have to do the same for his partner in crime.

He's clutch-suck; when he screws up, it kills his team.

Damn. Can we waive Quincey?

Jimmy Howard is the best goalie in the NHL. Holy crap, we look good right now.

I am very happy.

JIMMY

Excellent pressure! Sick move by Dats!

Todd Bertuzzi chant!

How good has Bert been for us so far this season?

BERT GCL FEED IS SO FAR BEHIND

Getting too cute with these chances.

That, and his game's got some nastiness in it.

Tatar makes things happen.
