I can't see us beating the Sharkies or the 'Nucks truthfully.  It would be very impressive if we did.  I'll reserve judgement until we a healthy lineup in Round 1, Game 1.  Last night I hope will be a wake up card because getting pounded by a non-playoff team this close to the playoffs is not a good thing.  I hope Babs can get the ship steered right.

I'm in agreement with you.  What do they need to do to get better?  Maybe some size?  I don't know.  My father-in-law thinks Bertuzzi has to go.  Who knows.

Hey,
      I can't put my finger on it, but I just don't see the team going very deep in the playoffs this year.  I sure hope I'm wrong of course.  Does anyone else feel this way?  I've noticed the inconsistency in goaltending and defense.  But it seems to be something else that just seems off with this year's club.  Ever notice how teams that aggressively forecheck the wings cause us all sorts of problems?  Can't clear, then penalties follow because of fatigue on a long shift when their pinned in the zone?  Anyone else have the same or differing point of view?  I'd like to hear what you all think.

I'm not sure about this...  They have been most disappointing lately, but it may be lethargy from playing all year long.?  Yesterday's debacle was an absolute embarassment.  I will say that this year's team has a hard time getting started.  I'll bet they have been behind in most of their games.  Perhaps that is an exageration but it sure seems like it.  If that doesn't change, they will not go far.  One more thing, the Sharks own the Wings right now.  I don't think we can beat them.
