It's a mystery, and if it's another disappointing season, you have to consider if Treliving is the GM for the future of this franchise.

They've been bad three games in a row. Its not really jekyll or hyde. Its just one of them

What does everyone really expect? Until there is an ownership change and a complete clean out of every office,the result will be the same as it has been for decades. Mediocrity is all that is expected so that is all that is delivered.

Just go full puck hog and shoot. Why try to be selfless down 7-0.

These crappy Octobers have paid off well for the franchise the past 29 years.

Are there other owners who somehow shout louder and demand championships?

Really though it does feel like being like being angry about getting snow in January. Sure we don't like it but it happens every year so we should be somewhat conditioned for it.

[NewFan]

Only Gio, Stone , Hathaway and Bennett plays with body check. That's why this team looks playing not hard, lazy.

[Bunk]

The cold hard truth is that our team, outside of January-June 2004, has alternated between bad and mediocre for an entire quarter century. It’s almost unbelievable.

[Machiavelli]

Bell and Hrudey with no real criticisms of this team. I guess that's not usually their place, but it's all lollipops and gumdrops in the broadcast booth.

[savemedrzaius]

Does Kelly Hrudey always sound drunk or is it just me? He always slurs his speech.

[Machiavelli]

Neal with a decent shot but there's no one bothering Murray. Crash...the....net

True. What's sad is that they've been way better than the Oilers for that entire time.

Someone has to get a feel for putting the puck in the net. It's useless to keep trying so hard to tic tac toe when you can't even tic.

Would like to see Neal turn into that bulldog and drive the net for a selfish goal. Shake that monkey off.

Clearly the problem all these years has been Johnny, Monny, Gio, Neal and Lindholm.

Hrudy's was pretty busy in the first half of the game trying to make excuses for Smith. I wish he would stop bringing up injury excues every time he plays like crap. I am pretty confident if Smith wasn't 100% there would be no way Peters starts him tonight as Rittich had played decently in two games.

ffs. hit the net.
