So, What Do We Need Now? by clearwall http://octopusthrower.com/2012/02/15/21-so-what-do-we-need-now/comment-page-1/#comment-3243 clearwall Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:40:20 +0000 http://octopusthrower.com/?p=2443#comment-3243 I agree with you, but for a different reason. I think the makeup of the team shields us from a lot of complacency(if you watched the Lidstrom 360 piece, youll remember how Babs praised him for enjoying the mundane) because the players themselves just dont behave like superstars, even though they definitely are. I think they need to lose at home just because you worry about your luck holding out and you dont want the bubble to pop at the worst time. Now, I'd like to see maybe 3-4 more home wins to really cement the record and I DEFINITELY dont want to lose at home to a divisional foe. The points are too damn important to be giving them up to STL or CHC. Let's say Feb 25 vs the Avs or Mar 2 against the Wild. We suck against the bottom dwellers of the conference anyway, so neither of these games matter. I agree with you, but for a different reason.
