Last week he sat there alone, reduced to surviving on discipline and guts and the memory of past victories hard won. It was difficult to listen to him slash at the Senators for their betrayal and not view him as the victim of terrible harm...

It's hard not to be mystified by a band that goes on a 25-city tour after a two-year absence and puts out two new albums after the tour...
