I'm not even going to bother bashing, or speculating, or criticizing until the team starts acting like they can win.
If anyone still has games from the beginning of the season Tivo'ed, don't even look at the play. look at the faces on the bench. The difference is that you can see defeat in their eyes now, there's no emotional spark and the ugly grey spectre of doom is sitting on everyone's shoulders like an unwelcome parrot with an intestinal problem
No sudden trade, or healed injury is going to get rid of that. Only time and leadership will work this one out.
im not sure what its going to take to get this team back together. I think its going to have to be a real character win. A come from behind game of 2-3 goals. 4-1 after 2 and habs come back and win 5-4 sort of thing. To show this team if they work together they can do great things. I know they know it, its just...like you said....hard to be positive when things are going so bad. Theres no one person you can point at. Win as a team...lose as a team.
