What a pathetic fucking effort against a shitty team. I keep asking myself, "how on earth did this group of misfits and losers with the Cup last year?" Hard to believe.

They had urgency last year and a coach who knew how to get the best out of them. Now, they have no urgency and a coach with no clue at all.

Media: Todd, can you tell us why you think your defense was struggling this game, letting up 8 goals?
TR: Huh? Not sure what game you guys were watching but our defense scored 5 goals I thought they had a hell of a game. Actually scratch that. 6 goals, one of which counted for the other team for some reason. I tried asking the refs to explain that but they ignored me. In my mind, Carly and Orly both scored twice and they'll be rewarded as such.
Media: And what about getting blown out by the Blackhawks, the worst team in the league?
TR: You know, the Blackhawks are a great hockey organization. They've won 3 Cups in recent memory. I don't get all the comments about the Hawks being in last place. You don't win 3 Cups without being a really good team.
Media: But...you can clearly see in the NHL stand-
TR: Standings schmandings. Read my lips. 3 Cups.
Media: Okay...can you explain your rationale behind the Kuznetsov demotion?
TR: I wouldn't call it a demotion. Kuzy has been a strong player for us, I just wanted to give the 3rd line a much needed spark. When he tries to dangle through 5 defenders I take a video of it and post it on YouTube. Me and the other coaches get a kick out of it. It's pretty cool. Such a skilled player.
Media: And what about the team's Power Play woes? What are you and Blaine going to do about it?
TR: Everyone expects us to score on this so-called "power play." It's 5-on-5 just like the rest of the game how are we supposed to have a better chance at scoring?
Media: It's 5-on-4...
TR: We have 5 players on the ice, they do too.
Media: No they have 4 players plus 1 goalie on the ice, you have 5 players plus 1 goalie on the ice.
TR: Yeah but our goalie is all the way on the other end of the ice. So it's our 5 guys vs. their 5 guys. Even stevens.
Media: Um okay, moving on. Your team has lost five in a row now. What are you going to do to get the team back on track?
TR: I like to take the optimist's approach. My team didn't lose five games in a row. They got on the ice and had fun five games in a row. That's what counts. None of these guys have to play hockey. They do it for the love of the game.
