08:24 AM ET 03.11 | Having returned to the lineup Sunday night, Edmonton captain Shawn Horcoff had already made an impact on the Oilers a day earlier. [Horcoff] chaired a players only meeting on Saturday, the first of the season for the floundering group. "We addressed a couple of issues," said Horcoff. "We seem to be a little bit fragile right now. We came on this trip knowing it was going to be pivotal but we still have an opportunity here to salvage a decent trip and still give us a chance going forward. There's still half a season left. It's not over for us yet." ... Horcoff said there has been a steady decline in the team's mental state, which has been obvious by the way the players respond when something goes wrong in games.

Well, nice of the overpaid, under-performing captain of a team full of overpaid, under-performing players to show up and do his job.

Well, whatever they did or said, it worked. They kicked the Hawks assets last night. 6-5! Holy Molly!

I wish my 'fragile" Wings would hold some kind of meeting. Maybe invite a Televangelist. They need a miracle. :-(

You can have Joel Osteen. The Caps are inviting his wife for a prayer (?) session.

True that, true that!

Maybe they should start the meeting by introducing themselves to one another, who are these guys?

March 11, 2013  10:22 AM ET

Is it Ales Hemsky ,Alesh Emsky or Aleshemsky? Listening to the guys on HNIC, I can't figure it out.

Just keep it simple, like Ryan Ted Nugent-Hopkins!

Worked for the Flyers, too. They took down the mighty Buffalo Sabres yesterday. No where to go but up!

There's a rule.

Guys with names like Cody or Dougie are not allowed to win major awards...
