There are still too many negatives. D-zone coverage is often nightmarish and the powerplay, while improved, still spends too much time standing around. I'm also concerned by our inability to hold a lead. I watched the game between Ottawa and Tampa Bay. We dominated Tampa more completely than Ottawa did, yet we let them back in while Ottawa shut them out. I was impressed by our comeback against Buffalo but very disappointed by the way we played the third period. It'll take a convincing victory over Chicago and a dominant performance against Toronto for me to stop holding my breath.JFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655817016626239821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-44416319525234095662009-03-30T18:38:00.000-11:002009-03-30T18:38:00.000-11:00I agree that this week felt completely different f...I agree that this week felt completely different from last ... I would add that it felt quite different from our season as a whole thus far.... with exception perhaps of a game in Detroit in which we really played as a team and very much like we played our last two games. <BR/><BR/>So what can we expect now that the team's approach is cohesive with its attributes and that individual's efforts are consonnant with their collective's ones ?<BR/><BR/>We can expect great 5-on-5 hockey.. and with Price being Price.. and with our PP being a threat again.. we can expect enough wins to make it to the dance.<BR/><BR/>If they win the next couple of games..... despite being realistic and all..... I'll get sucked-in like anyone else.... as fans at this point, considering our season, what we are saying is lets have a little bit of fun.pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722439953017469433noreply@blogger.com
