The atmosphere was light and there wasn’t enough emotion or intensity, even before we went on the ice. You kind of felt it yesterday against Calgary and it’s something we have to fix.” Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30S83syc1ds

I might miss this game. Chances are I will actually be going out on a Saturday night. It is about -15 degrees Celsius (just join the civilized world already, won't you? Fahrenheit? Really?) here right now, however so the idea of going out and become stupidly drunk might not be the best one out there... If I do go down that route, I hope I'll stumble home and find out about a great game from our guys.
finally an afternoon game, i won't have to wait until 1 at morning to just fall asleep 15 minutes after the start of the game!
and yea... seems like everyone want to go with bryz! why u heff to be mad
This is a tough back-to-back. Devils will/should be ready to throw it down since the Flyers won a couple weeks ago, and then have to go play the Rangers in New York for the 3rd time already in another afternoon game, and we still have to prove that we can beat teams who keep it so tight defensively.

Well, that's the thing. Some people on this board, and a bigger proportion off of it are true believers in where they think this team is going. If they can't beat the Rangers, they can forget about it.

If healthy we could, if our goalie played like he did in last two games we could win at least one game this season even with all the injuries.
