"We need to earn the respect of our fans here. Our fans are dying for us to work. All they want to see is hard work...Compete and work and not quit." - John Stevens, Dec. 1 post-game interview
Uh, totally.
Stevens is pissed. I'm sure everyone of you is as well, if the report of a minor altercation between Tiny!Briere and (my HH) Kapanen is anything to go by.
The Jekyll/Hyde routine has to go. To roll out two trite - but true - cliches (as though there were any other kind):
- There's no good reason for what's been happening lately.
- You're all better than this.
I hope the enforced togetherness of a road trip brings back some of the team zen you achieved in Whistler earlier this year.
Coach, if that doesn't do it, I humbly offer my apartment as a potential venue for a team smack-down/slumber party to help everybody work this out once and for all. I have experience with this from my competition days. (Trust me, if it can work for a bunch of PMS-ing female athletes, I'm sure it can work for guys facing testosterone overload.) Additionally, I am trained in conflict resolution, peer counseling, and active listening skills.
Love yas,
Nadine

Are you ready for Wednesday?
Well, since we only seem to win on the road lately, sure, why not? :)
By the way, my condolences to your Koivu. As you may have seen, he's one of my squees from other teams...and Ohlund is NOT.
Thanks. We miss him in the lineup. He's TOTALLY squeeworthy. Ohlund's new name is dipshit.
