What Drew really means is that he would prefer if Cam Ward could replace Timmy in a year and if Eric Stall could join in. You know, overhaul the roster in Carolina.

I think the key word in that headline is loser

Carolina has a good team, it just got off to a really bad start.

It’s good they are not overhauling. Too many teams across all sports go into panic mode when things don’t go well for a season or two. The continuity will serve them well. Next year could be completely different with virtually the same roster.

It’s weird, too, because the Canes don’t think they need an overhaul–they signed all their top players to big contracts.

^ That’s a good one Drew. For some reason, the Canes have been a pain in the arse for the Bruins. Of course they turn around and become the Islanders’ beeyotch.

The Canes’ reluctance to make a coaching change during last off-season killed them this year. By the time Muller took over, the hole was already too deep. Maybe next year…

This is pretty good for Bruins fans. Either their toughest opponent will be eliminated, or they’ll get to laugh.

Typical Leafs: wait until they’re all but mathematically eliminated then go on a tear.

Maybe it has something to do with job security. These guys probably don’t want some high draft pick coming in and stealing their jobs so they make sure the Leafs’ drafting postion is mediocre at best.
