Honestly.....to imply that this slump is on Backes is a joke. He never slacks. Guys got one speed. And Jackman needs more ice time to be a Captain....what is he a #4 or 5??

We are like 39-1 when we score 3 goals or more. While an off D can be very bad, you got a absolutely, guaranteed disaster on our hands if you can't score goals.

Steen and Senko not helping in the dressing room. I hope it's rest and recovery for Steener, he hasn't been right since coming back.

Problems in both areas right now but give me goals to climb out of this.

Ducks have lost 2 in a row, Hawks have not been much better than us lately and the Pens are 5-5 like us too. No smooth sailing for any club it appears.

They gotta snap out of this and find ways to score the goals. I would think play in front of the net is key. Shoot the forkin puck and get in front of the net guys

C'ya.....Gotta go light a candle.
