I'm thinking that these last two episodes should get them out of the TopTen ranking in short order.

As well most of you seem okay that Incze had a bad game. The night before Dhillon let in 3 goals, 2 of which were deflections and unstoppable and some of you wanted Dhillon demoted to back up. The coaching staff sees things for what they are. Many of you are extremely biased against certain players.

I am going to cut our team some slack at this time with the understanding that 3 or our top 6 d-men are injured, two of which have not played a single regular season game yet.

That leaves us with one 16 year old who is playing in his first season (and by the way, in my opinion does not look out of place).
Two 17 year old players and one of those is playing in his first year as well.
Oh, I almost forgot about out turn-over master; over-aged player.

I agree with every suggestion, especially #2. The coaches can't resist scrambling the lines mid period, never mind waiting a whole game.
