Let's get a Monahan in there, and let's start winning by committee.

Some people forget that we can win if we have a strong lineup from top to bottom, not just superstars up top.
Again Duhatschek also addressed winning at garbage time as futile. He said it's been proven that winning without pressure rarely translates to winning under pressure. It doesn't build character or winning habits that translate into a team that wins in the clutch. This isn't just a bunch of 'Oiler fan wannabes' hoping their team becomes losers. It's fans looking past the end of what's been a terrible season for this organization and looking at how this team can avoid a repeat which is by bringing in the best talent possible. This is logic and past history dictating that there is nothing redeeming about bad teams winning games at this time of the year as it actually hurts the proposition of winning in the future.

I said it last night and Duhatschek repeated this morning that last nights game was unfortunate in that you want to get those bounces in games that count. Simply an unfortunate evening.
