Ugh, too bad Ek is out. He usually brings some magic to games against the Lightning..

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Enough is enough. Stop the losing.

 

[Gentle Man]

There was a point in time when we were 8th in the PP and 27th on the PK..

My that is a great, and horrific, turnaround

 

[Gentle Man]

 

[JP Mick]

When did Dale sign Havlat for the fourth line and when did Fred Andersen get traded to the Bolts?

This is must win to get that mojo back!

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Hahahaha what the hell?
