Burke on his BB: "DAMN I knew we should have traded for Nash!"

Burke typing away on his phone..I wonder what about...I know what I want it to be about

Best thing is, we get to do this all over again as soon as tomorrow night!

Not me... I'm doing my hair.

You have hair left?  I pulled all mine out.

 

[Derk]

Frustrating, embarrassing game so far.

"Dear Mr. Tanenbaum,

I hereby tender my resignation for this debacle."

 

[ZBBM]

Yes, Bowen, you homer.  The Vezina winners in the crowd actually do have a right to boo this guy's 5th or 6th straight crappy performance.

? I don't think he's been crappy tonight, so far at least.

He looked pretty bad on that last goal, but it would only be a tie game of they hadn't hung him out to dry twice in the first 2.5 minutes.

I'll go back to some comments in the 1st period -- were the first 2 his fault?  No.  Do you need to have your goalie bail you out more than Reimer has?  Yes.  He did it once on the Kessel/Phaneuf giveaway in the 2nd -- full marks to him for that.  But you can't let the first 2 shots go in.

This reminds me of Belfour's last season in TO when he was rapidly going downhill.  There was a string of games where he gave up a goal on the first shot, and then others in quick order.

Note to self, only purple td freezies after the game...

 

[azzurri63]

Ottawa up 1-0 on the Bruins with just over a minute left in the second and outshooting the B's 31-15. Impressive.

Probably just playing angry birds.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

and without Anderson in net...

It?s pretty much a certainty that it won?t happen. Still though, it would be a nice change.

I dunno, I'd like to see how Burke reacts in the offseason if they don't make the playoffs.

It's more that in general I think he was the wrong guy to assemble this team, just like Wilson is the wrong guy to coach them.

Again, those were quality chances, doesn't mean he was crappy.

He could be better but more to the point so could have Schenn, Komisarek and Connolly.

So who was the right guy?

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

i can't believe they couldn't cash on theodore's mandated one horrible handling of the puck per game ...that would have been nice

That's for top men to decide. Top...men.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

I guess I can retire, you guys have this under control.

 

[lamajama]

No I think he was the right guy. I'm just believing now that his supreme arrogance in not firing Wilson long before now; not doing a time proven rebuild and well...arrogance in general is killing us.
