  1. Right? It's always a guess...I hope they build off that last game. Would be a shame to waste the momentum.
  2. Don't wear yourself out!!!! I can hardly wait to get back to working out. Surgery sucks.
  3. Sometimes I get really busy at work, start feeling tired and a bit deflated then remember... IT'S GAMEDAY! and I suddenly feel rejuvenated and fresh. Happy. That's today.
  4. Confidence really weighs in bigtime. A team that loses it can start to struggle, show frustration and try to do too much, etc. A team that's finding success has fun out there and it's a whole different ball game...more relaxed. simple plays versus overplaying, etc. We have a few pretty great players and if things start clicking, they've shown they CAN beat the best. Sustained in a playoff series? Some write us off but the above all matters...as does goaltending (we've seen how much that matters), injuries, officiating, etc. Teams that get hot at the right time can generate some momentum. I'm not as convinced as some (most) here that we're brutal and need a complete overhaul. When these guys stay engaged and are keeping it simple, they can win games.
  5. Also, thanks for getting the GDT up early...you really are "Old Faithful" and it is appreciated. You and @Goal:thecup have been great this year.
  6. He wants to focus on his family now according to what I've heard/read... He was my favourite Lion for awhile now...will really miss him. One day I was walking to a game and started chatting with this lovely woman walking beside me. Turns out it was his aunt...so I got the chance to pass along my sentiments through her. He made some amazing catches. He will be missed.
  7. Alf, people talk like "the future" is set/guaranteed...it's not. All the moves/picks in the world may/may not pan out. Sure, I don't dispute that picks are very important for the future, but there's value in a team that can win today too. Think of Petey and how losing threatens our future with him? Because he may not want to stay if this team just totally crashes and burns (probably he won't) so it's a delicate balance and this team, right now, needs some stability and...as their very wise coach understands...to believe they CAN win. The future will unfold as it will but, right now, the focus is on getting these guys out of the doldrums (and increasing their value). We don't want Petey losing interest and that game last night showed a very giddy Petey post game. That matters for our future too. People who can't see the forest for the trees. I get that moves will have to be made and I'm sure they will be. But it's not a matter of looking to the future while completely overlooking the present. I saw smiles last night that were important to the player's overall psyche and are better FOR the future, no matter what that holds.
  8. Oh, I hear the airport's closed due to snow. Highways too. Sorry.
  9. Haha, I just looked back 10 games to see before I came in here...yep. Not too shabby. They're finding a way to win lately and I'm sure it's pulling them closer together. Losses start to create a lot of tension and insecurity so I'm happy for the boys.
  10. Sports is often anything but picture perfect and it's hard to dismiss a comeback like that without being positive about it. Yet some still will.....
  11. I love the fact that Petey could hardly contain his joy in the post game presser. This guy's earned some wins....people who want us to "tank" don't think of how that could affect Petey. He wants to win. These guys matter too, not just the ones down the pipeline in our dreams.
  12. I always LOVE the post game on 650 when I drive home after a win.
  13. Knew it! He really helped to change the face of the game and was solid when we really needed him to be.
  14. Petey body slams Matheson without even having to touch him...sweet revenge. LOVE it!
  15. BTW, can I just talk about JT's beautiful set up pass to Kuz on the tying goal? Things were fast and furious but....that's my guy.
