Hate the coach, hate the decision to keep him based on Dallas going far, hate the fact that this team fades into the night because the edge this team has is not called upon. You don't think that if Sutter was pissed off and lined up: Robinson, Rinaldo, Bennett, Tkachuck, Tanev, Andersson, Ritchie and a few others that the BOA sparks wouldn't fly??
Love Gelinas/Conroy...but these were not the guy that lit the fuse for the flames. In the hate games like the Ducks it was guys like Berube and the infamous puck over the glass by Lowry that kept the battle going. If I remember that game correctly...Conroy was the last guy sitting on the Bench in that Ducks game...

I hate the 'just make the playoffs' mandate instead of building properly and patiently.

In a season where they play the same 6 teams 9 or 10 times each, it's probably going to get very ugly.

They've historically been bad against the PAC division, too. And of course playoffs. Basically no good against teams they play frequently.
