Reply #65: It doesn't work like that in hockey

Where you finish in the regular season has very little weight in this game. It's what you do in the post season.

I'm not really out to crap on your team. I'm just happy to have that pick more than anything.

I'm just stating a fact that the reason they finished where they finished is because of the way they are built. The core is rotten and there isn't a lot of chemestry. You just fired your coach because of simialar results as this season.

This time out it ain't gonna be the coach that pays the price. It's the players.

I don't really care if you laugh at the Islandes. Nobody was convinced that they were gonna contend for a post season berth this season. Even the the management clearly stated this season was gonna be focused on developing Okposo, Baily, Bergenheim etc. So it doesn't really matter to me. I know those guys in a few years are gonna be in better shape than San Jose is now.
