When we talk about different issues this season like goal tending, coaching, defense, locker room relationships, the whole 9 yards etc...
Is it safe to say that Murphy's Law has struck the team this season?

How can this mess not be coaching? Guys are frustrated, blowing leads, different lines up front and on the back from shift to shift. I have seen most of the games this year and can't tell you who plays with who. They play a good 4 game stretch then lay that egg against a team missing 4 impact players. Sounds like possible suspension for Farrell and Lalonde. Uncharacteristic for both.

Can we go back in time and take our defense and goal tending from 2007? And maybe even Shiny Head too?

I know I've asked it twice already, however I'm interested in peoples opinions about the performance of the team affecting the franchise?
I know good amount of reputable people who are and were seasons tickets holders and billets who no longer attend the games and are worried about the future of the franchise in Sydney when anyone and their dog can walk in and chose the exact seat number that they want.
I understand the highs and lows as any town hosting a Q team does.
But does there come a time when enough's enough?
When I think back to the date that this team last won a playoff series, things get a little worry-some.
How flexible is this franchise financially when no one is coming to the games?

Both reasons would make sense. Definitely a tough night at the office for Sullivan though. He usually does play better then that but the eagles definitely need goaltending help.

What are the actual line combinations? Is there actually an official line combo. For example in Toronto :
1: JVR - Bozak - Kessel 2: Winnik - Santorelli - Kadri 3: Lupul - Holland - Clarkson 4: Booth - Smith - Panik
Defence:
Phaneuf - Franson Gardiner - Polak Reily - Robidas
Have the Eagles, by now, established a roster? Or does Dumont keep planning on being the most amazing coach in history ?

Could say the exact same thing about Darcy. I guess because Brassard played in Quebec for the last 3 years people forget he was a lot better before CB.

And that has always been my problem with the Leafs... Not their ability... not their skill.... But their fucking will... Why not just come out and act like you wanna take 2 pts against the leagues worst and continue the streak to 7???
You come out against the Kings and Ducks like your children depend on it and then you come out against what should be the easiest 2 points since your free space in bingo and act like you wore a skate on 1 foot and a roller blade on the other.
I've "Always!" said that the problem with the leafs isn't anything but "their demeanor" and this game keeps adding to that. I know they won 6 in a row and I know I can't criticize too much, but come on!
Like the panel said " Good teams beat good teams" - " The best teams get up emotionally and find a way to beat good AND beat bad teams. They don't take nights off.
I have no problem whatever with my teams losing a game if the effort is there.
But
When they lose simply because they didn't have the effort. That's what drains my soul.
And what kills me about the Eagles "Organization."
There is never a plan or an explanation... It's always a lame piece in the CB Post that deserves a bucket of shit over the head....

I guess because Brassard played in Quebec for the last 3 years people forget he was a lot better before CB. Different situation with Brassard though as a goalie. Who likely wants to trade for a 20 year old goalie, who hasn't had a good season and always been a bum in the play-offs? 12 forwards, 1 goalie. Less of a risk. Brassard has struggled but just where is there a fit for a 20yo goalie?
