Guys i know we've all said it and heard it 1000 times, but i really need to vent again. I have had season tix for the past 15 years and its been a great ride. however I'm watching our great franchise fall apart with poor move after poor move. I said after the deadline that if i was gm, i would of picked up Sergei Federov, who washington got for nothing, and most importantly Hal Gill, who Pitt got for less than nothing. If any of you watched the Ranger game, hal gill was the guy pounding on Avery for the past 2 games, and the guy whos  kept him out of Fluery's face for 2 games. I'm not saying having either player would have made a difference, but at least we could of kept our self respect. I think Lou is a great evaluator of talent, but has done such a bad job since the inception of the salary cap, how do you pay Colin White whos 6'5'' and plays like a guy who 5'5' the money were paying him, and pay Pat Elias whos nothing more than an above avg forward 7 million per and let Scotty Neidermeir Walk away, or even let Sheldon Souray go to Edmonton for a few dollars more . To say I've had it is an understatement. I will be back next year, but I'm hoping some way or some how we can get back to throwing teams all over the ice, like the good ole days.

I'm glad to see someone else call out Lou.

Colin White is $3+million wasted no question. Even when he has two eyes he's useless.

Neidermayer decision to leave us still baffles me. Lou actually offered him the money, he just really wanted to play with his brother.

Souray wanted to play in Canada, which is why he signed with Edmonton. He would've been a great replacement for Rafalski, and Lou still needs to fit that huge void.

I wasn't a season ticket holder, but I dropped a few grand over the season on tickets. I went to all kinds of games. In the beginning of the season they won, but then the last 4 games they lost. I was at the game where we had a lead vs. Montreal, but then blew it in the 3rd. Then I wanted to find Lou and kill him after the last game I went to, where we got shutout by Washington. I refused to go to a game after that, because I was so frustrated with Lou and the Devils.

Lou really needs to make a big move. Brodeur only has 3-5 years left, so our window of dominance in the net is going to end soon. We need to get a d-man who can score to spread the defense and open up our offense/power play. Hossa would be nice too, even if he doesn't show up in the playoffs.
