13 gives us hope. Now go win this damn thing.

FFS Marty, use Demidov on PP1...running out of time.

I jumped off of the couch...high into the air. Haven't done that in the regular season before. What a start for 93!

I think the arrival of Demidov is going to create internal competition for the RW1 position, and that's a good thing. Slaf needs a kick in the ass to bring maximum effort more consistently, and knowing he has to earn his position night in and night out should do that. Demidov also has something to chase...this should make both players better in a shorter timeframe.

I hope that a combination of Demidov and our raucous fans can give the team a spark...they desperately need a boost in energy and confidence.

If he just pops up and skates his a** off to the bench right away, they would have been all right.

You'd think they were gunning for the 'shots high or wide' record the way this game has gone so far.

Might as well try Demidov on PP1 right off the hop on Monday...couldn't possibly do any worse than the current PP1 wingers are.

It's nice to not be down a goal or two after the first period for a chance, but having only two shots on net is ridiculous.

Terrible game. If they come out flat again tomorrow night, I'm going to find something else to watch. I can't handle watching Leafs fans celebrating a rout.

Monty has to pitch a shutout in the 3rd.

If Slaf can't commit to battling in front of the net and screening/tipping, he needs to be taken off of PP1 for Demidov on Monday. He adds nothing unless he's playing that game.

Dvorak. First sign of a pulse for the team.

Why is this team never ready to start a f**king game? It's downright ridiculous at this point!

Hopefully we will have clinched before his debut, so there will be almost no pressure for his first two games...which will be against a terrible Chicago team that checked out mentally long ago, and a Carolina team that will be playing a meaningless game without most of their best players in the line-up. That's not the worst scenario to ease him into.

I strongly suspect Carolina will be resting most of their stars for the final game of the season, being unable to move up or down in the standings.

That is one of the most misleading final scores you will ever see. I don't care though, the good guys won and we are a point or two from clinching.

Great hard work goal.

Beyond lucky to be tied after 2 horrid periods.

This is as bad as any of the crap starts they have had...extremely lucky to only be down one so far.

Yet another horrid start.

Need to get a work visa in place, and get him on a plane ASAP. This is HUGE!

A regulation win against the Wings tomorrow must move our odds of making the playoffs to at least 93% I would think?

Ugly win, but 2pts is 2pts...the back to back with travel surely played a role. Hopefully they bring their A-game to the next 3.

What is with this team having crummy starts to games on a consistent basis?
