Sure looked like it was working as we entered December. Going
0 for the month will not look pretty. I am not convinced that
they will win this month - even with DP coming back off of the
IR.

Things went south when Nielsen was clocked in open ice and
went on the IR for 4-6 weeks. It's been downhill since then.
Okposo missed three weeks, Hunter is now out, Sillinger is
*back* on IR, Thompson is on IR, Gervais, Martinek, and Sutton
(3 of top 6) are on IR too. Not counting that Comrie is 2 games
off of the IR. Now Weight might be out for several games too!

Injuries have hurt the team - and this team in particular is
so thin on experienced players, missing some/any makes it look
more like an AHL team playing against the big boys. Joey
MacDonald was a "Who is this guy" when they let Doobie go - and
he's definitely kept them in many a game so far this season.

I see hope for the future, but it'll be a LONG season - maybe
along the lines of what Philly suffered two years ago...

PS - all Gordon/Snow want for Christmas is a goal scorer under
the tree.
