no playoffs??!!?? make J2 sad

me no like no playoffs!!!??

well this is 2 years of no playoffs(most likely) – I think we need some star power and while I love Teppo – I think his time is up with the NHL. great story though.

i’m not sure what this team needs – obviously a sense of urgency from some guys would be nice. seems to me that when everything is on the line – there is no sense of urgency. not sure why that is

Anyway Kenny, Yellow MegaMan is only $8.95, so maybe your mom can put it on layaway and make payments for a year or two
