John Tortorella's troops have slowly tailed off from their torrid start, and won just six times since November 23. Well, Tuesday night's 7-0 clubbing at the hands of the Ottawa Senators will prove to do one of two things. Either it will wake the club up from its slumber, or ultimately prove that a seven-win month of October was an aberration. "I don't think we have hit rock bottom, |
