6-1 OTT

We suck. We'll be more tired. Larkin looks more and more like a rookie each day. And we are counting on him WAY WAY WAY too much. Some of our vets (ahem Tatar) need to step up. If not, this game could get ugly early.

Hoping for a win tonight!

Regarding our schedule and hitting the panic button...I thought about this last night, there is always that ONE team every year that is a bottom dwellar and yet still has our number, ex. Florida last season (even though they turned it on a bit later on) but usually your schedule against teams is spread out so much that you aren't playing them every week. This year, obvioulsy Carolina has our number (even in the 1st meeting) and if those 3 games were spread out over 4-5 months the losses wouldn't look so bad, but the fact that we've played them 3 times in three weeks basically, it magnifies the fact that this team has our number and makes our w/l record seem worse... I am not saying the Wings don't have issues, because they did lose to Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa as well, but I just believe that even though 6 lossess to 4 teams is stil 6 losses, it looks worse than it is because we just happen to hit that team that has our number and have played all the game against them in 3 weeks.

After saying that, I certainly hope they pull one out tonight so we can start turning this thing around and don't get so far down that we are counting on Pav/Rich/Green to be our saviours when they just aren't going to be that. They well all help this team to be better, but labeling them that way and expecting that much is putting a ton of pressure on them and us as fans will be set up for a major disappointment. This team needs a shot of something to get back on the right track before these guys get healthy, at least better than .500.

IF and it's a big IF, If they haven't gotten this ship righted by december, I certainly hope they explore trade option before it becomes too late to crawl out of the hole.

Can someone on here who is smarter than me tell me what guys on the current roster can go to GR without having to clear waivers. Not a good stretch of hockey but with a new coach and injuries it's to be expected. 20 game mark is my benchmark and usually is a good indication of where we are at. For 20+ years this team has a stretch like this. Hopefully we are getting it out of the way early this year.

Oh and we win tonight. 4-1
