12 Steps: Michalek's Anonymous
Written by Nichols

Repeat after me...My name is _____ and I'm a Michalek.

Now that you're an official member of MA, here is the twelve step program:

1: We admitted we were powerless over Michalek's speed -- that without him everything looks slow by comparison.
2: Came to believe that someone not named Alfie could restore us to sanity. 
3: Made a decision to turn our will and our fandom over to the care of Milan as we understood him.
4: Made a searching and fearless inventory of how good this team's roster could actually be.
5: Admitted to Milan, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. (Admitting that at the time, you thought Milan + Cheechoo + 2nd rounder wasn't equal value for Heatley.)
6: Were entirely ready to have Milan remove all these defects of character. (Do best Wayne's World imitation. We're not worthy. We're not worthy. We're scum.)
7: Humbly asked Milan to remove our shortcomings and fix our power play.
8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Except for Steve Downie. He can promptly go fuck himself.
9: Made direct amends Use the threat of violence to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. and thank Matt Carkner when he's done with them.
10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Karlsson was -1 in a 7-1 win. Ship him out!
11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Milan, as we understood him, praying only that our spawn will someday share his rare blend of size, skill and speed. 
12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to as many Sens fans as possible, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

i was at the game tonight and it was a thing of fucking beauty. i have nothing to add about milan, unbelievable performance. everyone played great. everyone. i hate picard but looking from the 300s he still did his job. after seeing karlsson handle the puck and move it around, can anybody honestly say he cant play in the nhl? thats the game we want to see after a tough loss to the pens. goals, fights, pizza, and retribution. suck it downie, you got punished.

Mmmmm....now that's good Michalek!!! Something tells me this will be the last non-sell out this season as the bandwagon jumpers will be back in full effect after seeing the results of this one.

Awesome game by the team, I want to point out Cheechoo (dude is so close to a goal...), Carkner/Picard (Million dollar defense at 10 cent prices) and our "overpaid" fourth line playing better than most teams' second lines.

That game made me happy in the old cockles of the heart...maybe even the sub-cockles too.

Em-n-eM really put on a show - and showed Chris Kelly how it's done (How to score on a shorthanded breakaway). I thought my earlier mention of L'Artiste might happen - he kicked off the scoring by being Johnny on the spot for one of Alfie's sweet feeds. Then MM takes over and decides to show Heatley how you do it with a not so diminished role. 2 Shorties and a PPG.

In your face Ray Ferraro - who had Vinny Le pegged for breakout "Knight".

Unfortunately nights like this mask the other issues mentioned lately - which haven't magically disappeared. But at least the media may relax for a day or two while MM gets some love ... and we bask in the glory of a true ass kicking.

Hilarious, but you lose points on #10 as Karlsson was even, with an apple on the last goal.

And if you use +/- to seriously determine things like that, then you lose a hell of a lot more points. Watch him play and stop expecting the world from this kid. He's doing great and I can't even fathom the way fans like you even think... It's remarkable people could be so shortsighted and hypercritical.

And Mikus, the next time you feel compelled to criticize my work and make up words like hypercritical, maybe you need to pause and do your due diligence first.

I wrote a piece less than 2 days ago, defending the kid. http://bloguinpro.com/the6thse...mbers.html

That comment I made in this piece, it's called satire.

I preferred this site better when people like Mikus weren't posting comments.

I seeee..... apologies and nice blog. I concur. Nonetheless, you can see where my frustration might come from? I've lived in a city with the most fickle fans in history for far too long and seeing so many proponents of the idea (to ship him out) can make it difficult to pick up sarcasm.

I can see how you would view the 2012-13 season as the appropriate time to renew his contract, but I would add that having to renew both his and Cowen's contract in the same year could prove problematic. Add in Wiercioch and it gets even stickier. I would rather have Karlsson up for renewal first.

Houses are expensive and not every person can buy it. But, loan was created to aid different people in such kind of cases.
