Before we go too far, this has enough to do with the week ahead... Mikko Koivu will NOT play in the All Star game. Replaced by Jordan Eberle. Nick Johnson WILL attend the ASG, as was originally reported, then removed. So there you go. Nick Johnson. All Star.
At this point in a season, the words become short. What can be said that hasn't already? Players are in the groove, for better or worse. Trades are being attempted to shake things loose, but there is no guarantee of anything happening. Anyone waiting for help from the outside is going to be stuck with nothing.
Or... pretty much what's left in the tank at this point.
After the jump, a look back, and a look ahead. Anyone have any thoughts as the break approaches?
Last Week
The loss to the Flyers was bad. No physical play, no shooting, no anything. The Flyers truly appeared to be in a practice session. Ugly. Against a struggling goalie and all. Defensemen scoring at will, all wall of orange in front of both nets... just plain bad.
After the two losses out east, Fletcher sent two guys to Houston and called up four more. Message sent. The Wild poured out five goals against Dallas, in the only saving grace to the week. Things certainly are not better, but it was a bright spot.
The Week Ahead
Just one game, and then we hit the All-Star break. A week of no hockey. Ugh.
Yep. Just a lovely week ahead.
