Hmmmm?

Hope against hope? Hope springs eternal?

I guess I hope the same!

Yea, I knew he needed to get a start one of these days.

I hope he gets a win>

With it being Halloween and all, let’s hope he can exorcise the demons from his last start in Philly.

I’d say that will be rather key. Might be nice if the forwards show up, too.

Well I stopped my yard work to watch this game, they better show up and not waste my Sat. for this.

Positive thoughts people!

60 minutes of solid effort is all I ask.

by caniacgirl on Oct 31, 2009 12:44 PM EDT reply actions  

True. Would be a first this season.

Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader

by Ivan459 on Oct 31, 2009 12:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

That’s a lot to ask from this squad…

by Andrea's evil twin on Oct 31, 2009 12:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I believe that high expectations breed high effort.

And yes 45 minutes may be more realistic.

by caniacgirl on Oct 31, 2009 12:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t think they have given more than 20 min. The one game we looked really good in this season was against Florida (who were Zombies from there trip over the ocean).

by canescup on Oct 31, 2009 12:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sad thing is we are tied with them for last in the division.

Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader

by Ivan459 on Oct 31, 2009 12:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hence the hope of 45 minutes being more realistic.

I would probably put season effort at around 30 or so.

by caniacgirl on Oct 31, 2009 12:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’ll take 45 mins of effort over a measly 20…

by Andrea's evil twin on Oct 31, 2009 12:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’l volenteer for the job of 45 minutes of effort…
