Hey all, let’s lighten up! The first day is the hardest, right? I’m sure with a little positive thinking, things will be looking up in no time.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Very simply, they want Igor for the home opener.

Very simply, that was a bad decision.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Obviously this is just one game, but it was clear K'Andre Miller was outplayed by several defensemen who didn't make the team or are not in the lineup.

He’s a poster boy for Rongos social media he’s never getting sent down

 

[AirGut]

GUYS IT'S GAME 1/82 STOP THIS NONSENSE

 

[Daves a mess]

Maybe our roster isn’t as talented as some think.

Just a thought.

I'm thinking lack of heart. Not talent. EVERY team seems to out work the Rangers.

The talent is there. But they clearly do not want to pay the price or put in the work and think things will happen just from their skill alone. They play like Globetrotters and the opponent is somehow not going to stand up to their circling and east-west passes.

I miss the Torts days. Very badly.

 

[NikC]

Glad we threw this lineup out there and did nothing to Wilson. I hate this franchise.

yeah, this was not the game i expected at all.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Even this slow old washington team skated circles around us. We dont make quick passes, they have to think too long to make a pass.

Me too brother.

That avatar is the feels right now

 

[wafflepadsave]

It looked like 16 yr olds playing against some 12 yr olds. Does dolan fire anybody tonight?

To your point: The Leafs have a far more talented roster than we do and have disappointed. Why on gods green earth do our guys think they can get by on skill alone?

 

[Avery16]

Gallant" If i were a betting man we will name a captain before the start of season"... Names 6 Alternate captains instead. I mean this team has no identity. I hope we can develop one ASAP.

Not only are they alternate captains, but they alternate being alternate captains. They should have AAs.

 

[romba]

Georgiev played like a backup, but that’s kind of what he is. Are they planning on playing him 30 games this year? We’re in trouble then.

 

[Kovalev27]

Reaves asking ovi how his summer was how sweet.

 

[NikC]

i won't lie, i was behind all of the moves of last season... ALL of them... but to turn the org upside down after playing
this Caps team, and to start the season off against them ... with a game like this?

the only message sent was that this organization has no clue what they are doing with a hockey team.

Reaves doesn't even fight wilson? really? I hope Dolan is watching.

Alternate TO the Alternate Captain

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Miller not in A, kravtsov not up here, tinordi, Kreider not out of the top 6

They are going to give it more than 1 game. Miller will wind up there if he's playing poorly 15 games in. Tinordi is 8th Dman and there was only one reason he played tonight. Kreider actually had a good game. Maybe Kravs should be on the team but it's not like he lit it up either. He chose not to report to Hartford and request a trade. He would have been called up again.

Reaves asking ovi how his summer was how sweet.

And that just caps a shitty night for me.

Pun intended.

 

[CasusBelli]

Reaves asking ovi how his summer was how sweet.

Our guys came ready to compete … Instagram stories.

 

[Embryo]

Well at least we play tomorrow, first game doesn't count.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Disappointing to say the least.

 

[will1066]

Maybe we just have bad games on TNT.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I blame Gretzky.
