We’re Not Out of the Slump Yet!

Grabovski is back to Hamilton and Garth Murray is in the line-up...what a shame. The only reason I can think of coach Carb doing this would be if he anticipates an enforcer in the opposition’s line-up. We are playing the Flyers tonight so this theory makes sense. I just hope that this is the case and Grabovski gets called up for when need be because he is just too talented to be replaced by Garth Murray.

On a second note with respect to the line-up, Lapierre is now the new flavour of the week to center the second line. I wonder how many centers coach will go through before considering that perhaps the problem is with Kovy and Sammy being on the same line.

I know we won a game on Tuesday, but that is not enough to break a slump such as ours. We need to win a few games in a row, including a series of wins against teams below us in the standings and an emotional win against a power house, thus establishing our dominance.

With that said we're playing the last place team in the Conference and if we do not win tonight, our fragile confidence we established Tuesday night will come crumbling down. So if there is one thing more pressing than some solid sleep time for Number 1 (oh how I miss the sweet sweet sensation of a deep uninterrupted sleep) it is a dominant win tonight.
