This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What is up with Morris? by wearendhockey

He was awful in blowing the lead last week and 5 goals on 24 shots tonight? That and Jackson actually is saying he's playing poorly and he singles out individual players for public criticism about as often as I have date night with Sandra Bullock.

He referred to brain dead plays and the team being an enigma. And as often as he does try to reiterate the team is supposedly keeping together on the bench and in the locker room there is something clearly off with this team that goes way beyond players not having their best seasons.

I think they've checked out. On the nights they score 4 goals they're giving up 5 or 6 or blowing 3 goal leads in the third. On the nights Morris shows up to play they can't find a way to score more than a goal. They're 26th in RPI now and 4 of their wins are against teams ranked 45th or worse. They rarely play a smart, hard, tough 60 minutes. I'd be surprised if they win more than 3 more games all season.
