Week Recap:
1-1 this week with a horrible loss to Edmonton but DiPietro rebounded very well and we beat Minnesota. We're going to lose games, but if we can rebound from losses like that the way we did all the time, we're not going to have very many losing streaks down the stretch run.

Dissapointing loss and rebound. Nice work Crayzman.

Tough loss to Edmonton, but they look really good since last year's deadline...

[GoldenJet]

Wait, I'm confused, do you have Daniel Sedin or Henrik Sedin?
