TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!

Hard to know what to expect out of the Rags these days. Torts has gotta be even more of a raving lunatic than normal lately.

Makes you wonder how long will the player put up with it. Coaches like that have a finite lifespan, if you're winning its one thing, if you're losing, torts screaming is even more annoying.

Torts, Hitchcock...they wear out their welcome.

Although apparently Hitchcock is a changed man.

So the Rags may not have Nash and sit 9th in the east, three points behind us. If we truly have playoff aspirations, this game is very important.

Agreed. It's getting old by now I'm sure.

Good! He's just afraid of the boo-ing he would've received here. The bum.

We're going to need some heroes to step up if we want to be in the playoff race. Murray might have to make a trade or two, right now I am sure they're evaluating just how this team is given the injury situation.

If Michalek is done then I don't know what we can do, we've lost our top 3 point producers from last year for the season.

Lots of free agents playing over in Europe. Would we welcome back Jesse Wichester? Can Jason Arnott or Petr Sykora still play in a shortened season?

yeah that's a very good point. I'm not sure he'd be amazing but Jason Arnott isn't that far removed from being a number 2C. I mean it wouldn't cost us much and we wouldn't lose any picks or prospects. he's probably a little slow for this system.
