Well, Doc certainly got part of his wish with this. Now, how do we respond to this... the SLU game will be very telling.

Anyone else feel you are rooting for the 1962 NY Mets?
This team finds a new way to lose every game. The frustration on the players must be enormous.
I was at the Brown game where they built a big lead and gave it away. Last night, I watched them come back from a big deficit only to lose that.
The team has not been as bad as their record, but the goaltending has. We give up at least one bad goal every game. Some nights more than one. It has to eat at the players.
I thought that we had pretty solid goal tenders at the start of the season, but it certainly doesn't look that way now.
With all that, I will still not give up on them. It took the Mets seven years, but they won it all in 1969.

I can't conceive of myself rooting for the Mets.

Certainly this interview and Coach Smith's body language indicates a level of frustration is settling in. I think that it's very easy to let the "we are what we are" attitude take over making further progress harder to achieve. I really do believe this team has the ability to beat any team. Consistency, as we all well know, is very hard to achieve and maintain week in and week out. That being said, this is a team that could take advantage of other team's weak moments and capitalize on them. And the confidence that creates will help them win games this current team isn't winning. The big question is how to get every player to go out every shift and be a thorn in the other team's side. The philosophy of getting better every shift, every period, every game seems to have run into a roadblock. Because at this point in the season all teams are starting to fire on all cylinders making wins harder and harder to get. So, absent stars, taking shifts or periods or games off cannot be overcome for a team with no real stars.

If only there were a way to tap into that frustration and use it as a motivator.....
