		<description><![CDATA[In light of the injury news from today, I feel the above ranting is even more accurate. Staal and Neal out for a prolonged period. Sid and Letang are still question marks. Craig Adams is a question mark.

If they had been winning some of these winnable games they&#039;d have breathing room to make it to the deadline and make some trades. Now? They have to deal from a position of weakness otherwise they&#039;re going to find themselves in such a deep hole before January is over that they won&#039;t even make playoffs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It peaked in 09. Every year it&#039;s just gotten more depressing. Hard to watch a team like this and say, &quot;It&#039;s okay, we&#039;ll turn it on in time for the playoffs,&quot; because we won&#039;t. Anybody who says that simply doesn&#039;t understand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s exactly what I was thinking. Billy G coming over in 09 was exactly what the team needed. That&#039;s been a little of what&#039;s missing with this team. I have no idea who or what may be available. 

I have a Sid theory, but I&#039;ll hold off on that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enjoyed the post, Walt.
 I don&#039;t think a coaching change would solve this. I think the players themselves have to change/want to change the mindset in the locker room. This is where having a guy like Guerin or Roberts  on the roster would be beneficial, imo.  Is there anyone out there available, as far as a trade is concerned? That type of trade may help. Having Sid back would help too, but I don&#039;t see that happening any time soon. Like you, I&#039;m no Sutton either. The world doesn&#039;t need any more Andy Suttons anyways.
