OTTAWA -- In the voluminous library of thought-provoking Keanu Reeves movie scenes, maybe his deepest comes when Shane Falco reveals his soul in the seminal study of the athlete's mind that is "The Replacements."
"Quicksand," Reaves replies when asked what he fears on the field. "You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand."
That pretty much sums up the Stars' season.
