Okay, here are some stats.
At the current rate we are going to have an 82 point season. COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PLAYOFF PICTURE.
Islanders and Carolina are behind us but do not expect them to live there.
Florida is getting their act together and are gathering steam.
We have NO serious changes in Habland this season and from As statements, none are coming.
It's only going to get tougher as the season progresses.
MThead has shown no ability to coach for 2 years. Never will. Meanwhile Heartley is out there, WAITING.
Savard is now saying that he will not make any trades. Is this because he is afraid to make mistakes. Certainly he is piling them up, faster and faster.
Everyone has had a chance to settle down and other then Koivu, Theo, Zed and Markov, the rest have stayed at their mediocre level or have slid WAY back. See Dykhuis.
THERE IS NO KOIVU COMING BACK FROM CHEATING DEATH TO SPARK THEM beyond their capabilities like last year.
No Audette making a last minute, season return.
NOTHING BUT ENDLESS MEDIOCRITY
Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't wear my Richard sweater, put a bag over my head and walk down the middle of Yonge street, hoping that some teenage punk driving a Chevette and sporting a Maple Leaf flag runs me down and ends my misery?

AS is, IMO, bluffing when he says he won't make any trades
Just like his ''I want to keep Linden statment'' a week before dealing him
GM's and trade talk...never take their word seriously
But you are right thought the Habs are sinking and something must dramatic must be done
It's been mediocre hockey ever since game 4 against Carolina
This team hasn't been the same. There has been a good stretch here and there but aside from that it's just bad hockey.

Game 4 against the Canes was a turning point. I seen it. Did you? Excellent point Marc. One I've been trying to make since then. That night the reality set in for the players. You can't trust your coach. Not that they ever did but........ I posted a while ago that the toilet has been flushed. Andre didn't listen.

By which time I will have no more hair left and the 99 little guys in my head will have taken over. As long as we have "hope". Hope, nice little magic word that keeps us going but even hope has a shelf date. Meanwhile, endless, spiraling mediocrity.

Well HA, then don't watch or pay attention until 2004/05. It's really quite simple.

The Titanic, mercifully, took less time to disappear from the playoff picture.
I expect to see the good ship Hab break the surface a few more times before we see last gasp bubbles and a few life preservers. In fact it wouldn't surprise me at all if she straggled into port for major repairs before the end of the fishing season.

Well HA, then don't watch or pay attention until 2004/05. It's really quite simple. That's horrible, that's a Leafs fan attitude. If you don't think there's serious problems with this organization as it stands right now then you are wearing rose colored glasses. Don't misundertand me HabWest because I'm not taking a stab at you here, I'm just talking in general. Don't support this crap if you think it's crap. You won't be any less a fan for stepping back until things are right in your estimation. You work hard for your money, don't waste it on an organization that has ignored the wishes of its fans for the last 2 seasons.
