from George Richards at On Frozen Pond,
This team, for lack of a better term, is a mess. You can see it in their faces when they come into the rink. They are a beaten bunch. You can’t help but feel bad for their rookie coach, a guy who has to deal with this and try and figure a way out. This team almost has to play perfect hockey for 60 minutes—and even then they may not win.
So, instead of moping around Southern California on Sunday, they should all go to Disneyland. Check out the rides, have some cotton candy. Relax. Get some sun, take some goofy photos. Make the rookie (Michael Frolik) walk around in a goofy hat. Take more photos of that.
Then come in and see what happens against a Ducks team that was handled on Friday by Dallas and probably isn’t going to be in a real good mood.

I almost feel for that team because they looked sort of like the Wings during the dreadful Sixties, Seventies, and early Eighties. You can have all the talent in the world but IMHO it’s an entire organizational culture lacking in confidence that’s destroying them. They need an owner who gives a crap about the team. Richards makes a good point about the Lightning overhauling the team and it started with the owners. While they’ve made some wacky headlines making it seem like they’re over-investing themselves, they’re committed to winning and doing what it takes to win.
I seem to recall the Wings having several general managers before taking a chance on Ken Holland. One of those GMs before Holland? Neil Smith who helped “find” talent such as Sergei Fedorov and others as a scout. If the Panthers want a bona fide return to the playoffs, I think they should really let go of Jacques Martin and get Neil Smith. I think he can help that team.
