Can you imagine how good this team would be if they played like they did in the 3rd period Sunday night and the last 2 periods last night, all of the time? I honestly don't think these guys understand what they have here, at least not the younger ones. I'm sure guys like Ott and Jackman do. They've been around long enough and understand what good and bad teams look like in the NHL. But the younger guns and dumb guys like Backes ( ) probably can't really grasp just how special this team can be. Hitchcock has to find a way to get these guys to turn it on for 60 mins, every game. The 1/2 period or full period lapses are about the only weaknesses left on this team.

Pretty special stuff when all you have to biatch about is the Captain's low IQ (still can't believe he brought home stray dogs from Russia) and a few spells of less than 100% performance. Especially when the Captain is still a great player and the team is good enough to overcome the lapses...

Oshie's short handed goal last night was sick. And Steen's backhander in traffic was pretty darn good as well. Fun game to watch...

Go Blues!!

LOL - last week it would have been "we can't spot the good teams two goals like we did this game just because our goalies let in soft goals due to their bad position in the net. This team needs a strong netminder and a winger who can grind".

I'll say this.....from all the flopping around the defense was doing, ya'll must have A LOT more confidence in Miller than they do.
