I guess in the end it's the final quarter that separates the real clubs from pretenders. Which sucks because you get your hopes up for most of the season only to have it unravel.

It's a big loss losing Backlund too. Because even when he is struggling offensively, he is still matching up against the other team's top line. Now other teams best players are running circles around us.
It's a bigger loss than I thought it'd be.
