ultimately, this is all in our heads. we had a few injuries and took some loses against desperate teams, which i’m fine with. the problem is losing got in our heads and we can’t break out. our team is twice as good as last years, i still don’t know how we did as well as we did in 07-08. the playoff bust against a better rangers team was expected. this year we have the players to go all the way, but our heads are simply gone. we need to dominate friday’s game, which i bet my life we do, and then take the next game after that. we just need a few wins to get our heads straight and we will cruise again. i’m trying to stay cool through all of this even though i had broken several household items….if we lose friday i go from not hitting the panic button to declaring a nuclear holocaust on our team and the season. so much so that i would expect lou to trade half the team in the offseason. our defense should be embarrassed and we need to break up sal and havlid immediately. when i watch these recent games, i feel as if clarkie is demonstrating the best effort and i am damn proud of him. as far as i’m concerned, he is playing his role the best out of the entire team…oh, and i thought madden and pando played great tonight. johnny o and martin should be embarrassed.

i’m also in a wed night bowling league and one guy on the team just chokes every single week but is a good player. he’s a NY’er and is a huge astros fan. several weeks back he was telling me how jealous he is that the devils are always so good. i broke it down for him that the devils have all the tools but lost it in their heads, and that he needs to calm down and just do his thing…next thing you know he bowls a 4bagger and single handedly won our last game……DEVILS, WAKE THE F U C K UP
