to finish that 8-5-1 is amazing. you could really see them struggle in the end of the phoneix game. btw where did all that animosity come from between those 2 teams. lots of emotion.

getting 17 points off that trip is pretty good. I was worried about it alot and it was good to see them respond especially with the come from behind wins.

next step - not having to come from behind as much......

Best quote of the game against Phoenix goes to Burrows to Fiddler "Enjoy playing in Phoenix the rest of your career"

Burrows is great... always a great comment from him. And usually Kesler. It's gotta be rough for the line that has to play against the both of them now.

17 points off that world tour is amazing. Now 10 of 15 at home! I'm just hopeful that all this time away hasn't made them lose their mojo on home ice.

I've kind of been waiting for Kesler to crash.
Such an emotional and grueling Olympics for him, he played big minutes throughout.
he hasn't missed a beat so far.

biggest thing in the back half has been the emergence of the still-pissed-off-Swede Samuelsson, and contributions from a newly pudgy Wellwood and mmm-bop Hansen.
and of course the confidence that they can come back in any game.
