Is it just me or does Suze look like he's going through the motions He just plowed Raymond. He doesnt hit like that often. 2nd time tonight for Raymond. Earlier kova, I think, was plowed from behind into the boards... I guess Suze said payback is a bee-otch

Yeah, he was a hard nosed tank. The limo accident and his paralysis was just terrible.
Well, it is a good test for the boys in the third. Will they skate as five man units, make judicious decisions, and stay out of the box? Or will they relax, extend shifts, and look for easy cookies?

Isn't the octopus supposed to be thrown on the ice when you win?

I know Matheson is having a career year but man he has zero defensive awareness And I know plus minus as a stat is not great, but it sure shows a trend when only one defenseman on the team is lower than -8, and it’s -23! Lots of defenders for Matheson (he won’t fall off a cliff, he’s still relatively young, he’s a veteran presence, local guy, great character etc.) eith all these reasons for keeping him. Sure, but the understate his defensive weaknesses, his processing, his turnovers (in the first today, he carried the puck down the left boards and just fumbled it as he tried to think what do do next and turned it over) and, primarily, the surplus at left D. I don’t see the need to keep him. We have a mature team even though they’re young. He’ll have good value after this season. Next year, who knows?

No power plays in the blowout win against the Flyers and the OT loss against the Islanders. It is a pattern lately.

At the draft is when his value will be high to get a top 6 from another team ... 4.8M for what he brings offensively will be attractive to a lot of teams

What do I always say??
Pass BEFORE the blueline on a 2 on 1 ... Caufield didn't even get a shot on net
Exhibit A on why him being a 40 goal scorer may be very much in doubt

This is a very poor defensive team
They are just letting Detroit come wave after wave at them without so much as hitting or laying a finger on them

Only 4 shots this period.

Anybody watching on Sportsnet? On the panel are Amber and Cosentino & 2 others. Who are the other guys? Luke Gazdic, a former NHL cup of coffee) who I find enlightens me not ine the least, and Justin Williams whose main claim to infamy is taking out Saku Koivu’s eye to prevent the Habs from sweeping the Canes. I will never forgive him.

It was Armia. Ffs
This team absolutely sucks defensively

GO WINGS GO! Is Hutson doing Hutson things? He's played a conservative game for him... he will be a treat to watch in the coming years... you can see the brain working and the smart decision with the puck... he needs time to adjust defensively to the speed of the NHL and positioning. In college he went wherever he wanted here he has to stay within the structure.

Thank Armia. He had a chance & lofted it towards the bluline where it was cut off. Dumb

Tough, the boys have just got cratered in the third period. I have not noticed guys cheating for points, but the team defense is just not good enough.

It's like Montreal isn't even trying in the third. They are sitting back and just dumping pucks to areas , and not even skating in the offensive zone
If this is our team, I'm done. I know they have nothing to play for....but that's GD embarrassing

Evans and Anderson starting the OT... msl wants to lose

Post by Skilly on Apr 15, 2024 20:40:16 GMT -5
They start Anderson and Evans ... the tank is on.
This team needs to learn to win, more than they need the #5 pick. This is why we can't hold third period leads, because we have not learned how to win, have not learned what it takes to win. There is no hunger
