I cant help but laugh when running through this threads. You'd think that the major reasons this team is playing poorly is because of Stu Bickel (who actually has been bad) and Jeff Halpern (who actually has been good).

The compete level isnt there right now for about 90% of the team. That, and the fact that 4 out of the top 7 forwards (Stepan, Gaborik, Hagelin, Kreider) have been no-shows to start the season, are the biggest factors.

But I guess scapegoating is more fun.
