Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Flames beaten up badly tonight.  My guess is the coach is gone tomorrow... probably should happen but Iginla needs to go as well, he's Captained this team too many gutless performances over the past couple seasons.

Beebs is quiet tonight.  <_<

Probably burnt out from bail hearings.

I don't know what hurt worse - the bail hearings, or two crappy Jets performances. :bleeding:

:(

The trouble of course is the schedule gets tougher from here out - next up is Buffalo and Boston.  They really needed to pick up one of these games.

Ah well - can't get too worked up over a 4-0 loss.  After all there are more bail hearings to be done tomorrow. :bleeding:

January in the NHL is when we see the sheep separated from the wolves.  Good teams will win, stay consistent and stay disciplined.  Weak teams will lose, panic and start accepting phone calls from GMs who smell blood.

And the canucks are the former, or the latter? :hmm:

I'm pissed off by the last two games, but I'm hardly enraged.  Still lots of games to be played.  And besides - it's good just to be in the NHL again this year.

Obviously the latter!  :showoff:

Ovechkin seems to turning it around, Vokoun has stopped being a disaster in net...

I am not sure if they are just on a hot streak or if Dale Hunter has something new going on but it is nice to see the Caps proudly stepping from the ranks of the meh to the ranks of the not bad.

I refuse to panic over two bad games (and honestly those were more than just losses - the Jets were badly outplayed in both games by mediocre opponents).  But I think I can mark the first loss up to simply an off night by Pavelec, and the second to being a back to back game (that has got to be tough no matter who you are).

We'll see over the next few.  If they go 0 for 4 then I will officially panic.

Aren't you the guy who was chiding me for freaking out over the Caps November collapse?  :P

Two months later...just starting to right the ship.  Only had to fire our coach and bring in new players.

Canucks is a good team, until the crucial moment in the playoff.

Apparently the NHLPA has vetoed realignment, which means the Jets will play a second season in the southeast division. :rolleyes:
