Weave

The doink brigade.

Yeah, my suspicion is there is something going on here not related to team performance.

Wife seems to be improving. Same symptoms but less intense today. Her coughing, body aches, and fever seemed to have peaked Monday night. I’m still asymptomatic. County DoH still hasn’t reached out to her for contact tracing. Wtf good is it so many days after she started with symptoms? I was tested this AM. Holy crap! Made my eyes water. I think they gave me a lobotomy while they were in there.

Yup. that's why I haven't commented much. There has to be more that we shouldn't be privy to.

I’ve felt the Joe Ferguson similarity. He does display that same sense of defeatism.

Asplund over Skinner? Interesting..... Not interesting enough for me to watch most likely.

Borgen was looking looking to be a rare bright spot for this season. Sucks.

Woof. And it's not like his skating ability gave him room for degradation. Hope he makes that 6 month recovery and hopes he still makes a case for being the a top 6 guy for us.

pulse oximeter on order. Amazon next day delivery don't fail me now.

What's the pepsid for?

immune boost?

I spoke too soon. Wife continued to have symptoms even after the negative test result. They were getting worse so she was retested today. She's tested positive. We're in quarantine now. I get tested tomorrow. I'm symptom free and she's sicker than a dog. Says she's never experienced headahes like this before. And the dry cough she's got is awful to listen to. I can only imagine that it feels much worse for her. And today is her first day with a fever. I figure it's only a matter of time for me.

If this were accurate it would be the 3rd system in a row that they’ve rejected. At some point you’ve got to stop blaming the system. I have no idea what the real problem is here, but I don’t think its a “the coach doesn’t have the room” problem.

Doug Allen. Don't know why. His style just annoys me.

Punt from the opposing 40yd line.

In fairness, he's the only one lighting the lamp. We aren't winning any 1-0 games this season.

Definitely a bright spot. He’s getting things done and outshining our stars.

Negative here. Oh boy, I can grocery shop this week.

It's an interesting observation, PA. I didn't watch last night so I cannot comment directly, but a lack of "OK, let's go get em now" out of what is supposed to be a young, energetic group is not good. It sure sounds from your description like reservation. That is troubling. At least with the failed core we had a race to 9th. There wasn't any reservation there, just not enough tools.

One positive trait regarding Risto's game was his ability to be leaned on as a workhorse. You gotta hope that this disease didn't impact his stamina in a chronic way.

I think you are on to something here. Except I don't think it's too many playmakers. I think it is too much finesse, not enough dirty noses. There is a balance to be had. This team is out of balance.

Yeah, that hope didn’t age well...

Every team since The Decision has been unlikeable. A near decade of apathy. Both on the ice and in the stands. The last Sabre I actually enjoyed was that first season of Steve Ott. How ridiculous is that?
