Those guys are supposed to be two of our best offensive players. If we're going to be a good team, those guys have to step up every night for us. We need more determination and more grit. Hartsburg put them on the same line to get them both going, but it asn't worked. You can't just blame it on two guys.
Nobody wants to lose.
When the Blackhawks traded Roenick and chose not to re-sign free agents Bernie Nicholls and Joe Murphy, they counted on Amonte to improve offensively. It also gives us a chance to get away and put a few things behind us. Publicly, they say they support each other. But Belfour, the longtime starter, has dressed down Hackett in front of other players. I've got to do better.
