As I kept saying to my FiL when he was commenting on how lucky Del Homme was throughout the game, "You make your own luck." (or in the case of Jake, our crappy defense makes his luck).

I do feel, at times, that we're getting some bad breaks and that a pall has settled over the team; however, I don't think it has anything to do with luck. It has to do with us sitting still in free agency, not using $6 mil in cap room, and squandering draft picks over the last couple of years. That's how we've made our luck. If you want good luck, you plan for bad scenarios and prepare for them. We didn't.
