“Four five-on-threes, right? Counted five? [Reporter: I counted five.] Counted five. Well, we almost declined the last one. But we’ll take a point; we were fortunate to get one tonight.” — January 16, 2009, 3-2 overtime loss vs NYR Mood: exasperated. (At some angles, this tie is angrier than it first seemed on November 9. A faint faultline of threads connecting dots, mapping out the causes and effects of success and failure. But what happens if you trace the steps to a dead end?)
