Bounce Back game?

We need one! Turco will catch heat for last night, & we can always claim injuries, which were a factor - BUT, one road goal does not make a road win, and one goal in six periods isn't the production of a playoff-series-winning team regardless of the other circumstances.

If nothing else, a couple key injuries have highlighted the fact that we must get a second line that can score consistently. In a long term plan, the scoring by committee that Tippet loves to joke about recently isn't successful when your committee is driven by one line and they go cold.

I assume we'll see Smith tonight. Saturday's afternoon afair with Detroit will be interesting to see who starts and how they play. I guess that's why we watch.
