Listened to Cory Sarich just now on the fan. Man would his presence in that locker room right now be valuable because of his demeanor. Calm and cool but watch out he'll call it what it is.....just like Rhetts Rant last week.
God it's awesome when the Alumni are still registering high on the GAF meter.
Sarich ended his small segment with some enthusiasm rather than being negative.
Conny and Marty must be pulling out their hair right now .

Funny part is we had a team that had Sarich and Rhett (and Iggy, and Conroy) in the locker room go through the exact same thing.
Back then everybody thought Dion was the issue, but then he was traded and nothing changed still, the team was just less talented. So those guys can throw stones at this roster all they want but they did the exact same thing when they had the chance and looked just as "checked out" as these guys do.
I'd say that team had a similar issue too where they just had poor coach after poor coach for that stretch with Playfair, Keenan, & B. Sutter - none of them really ever looked the part as a top end NHL coach (outside of maybe Keenan who had the team playing well in 08-09 before running into injury/cap trouble and shouldn't have been fired).
If you don't have the talent on the roster, or if you're playing a passive system that prevents you from actually playing with some confidence :Cough Brent Sutter & Geoff Ward Cough: then it's tough to be successful in this league.
