What you didn't like *checks notes* Sheary and Aitkinson?

I didn't like the Atkinson signing from the start, but it was low risk. But whatever, use the 2 2nds we have and grab someone to shake up the bottom 6. We simply can't just rely on Kuch, Point, Guentzel to carry everything.

 

[bigdaddio]

How do you give up an immediate 3v1 rush on an offensive zone face-off?

 

[Ducati Boy]

Checklist:
Not getting clutch goals
Other team’s goalie better than ours

 

[JTBF81]

Oh well, just one game, on to the next one. Plenty of games to go and still games in hand.

 

[The Gongshow]

We aren't making playoffs. There's actual hungry teams fighting for spors. Tampa too washed. Blow it up. They ain't winning any first round matchup

 

[Stammertime91]

Kucherov played drunk every other touch. Really weird game by him as a whole.

I'm ready for Geekie to see the press box to cool off and watch some tape. Scratch Girgensons and audition somebody else from the crunch because you can't have a worse bottom six.

 

[These Are The Days]

This is exactly what I was afraid of all offseason. I was told I was overreacting

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I like Lille, but he’s been more offense minded and is often out of position, which is ok when you’re not relying on Perbix (who already needs his own babysitter). It’s just a bad combo

 

[Stammertime91]

savard holding the stick but whatevs

Dude was like a hungry hippo swatting and holding sticks down there. I don't get what I witnessed there lol. Not the reason we lost by a mile but no stoppage was wild.

We don't have cap space for better players or else we'd have em. We just gotta ride this out til the kids are ready and we have money to spend. It f***ing sucks right now but it is what it is.

We aren't dead yet. We just have a lacking lineup at the moment and it won't be long til we improve

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Complete shitshow. Not making the playoffs let alone doing anything if this continues

 

[FinnLightning26]

You knew they were scoring when we couldn't finish one of our great chances.

I'm sorry but you absolutely can't lose a game like this after leading 2-0. We can't win against the division, we can't win on the road and we're one point from being out of the playoffs.

This is just great.

Yes, they will have cap space at the deadline and even more next season. They will make moves at the deadline to address the middle/bottom 6 I have little doubt.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

All jokes aside, the losses are really starting to pile up.

There's like 5 guys who put it a consistent effort every night, plus the talent depth deficiencies & defense looks like shit without Moser. This is the result unfortunately

 

[These Are The Days]

Keep your heads up fellas. I am ready to book a hotel room just so I can throw furniture out of the window and into a pool or parking lot. But it'll get better. There is no way JBB is watching this trainwreck and will do nothing.

We are in a shitty part of the process but we have to trust it

 

[Game suspension]

Perbix is bad

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

JBB has to f***ing do something about the bottom 6 scoring.

Bottom 6 scoring wouldn't have anything to do with the pp going 0-4 tonight.

Not saying you're wrong. It would definitely help if Girgensons and Glendening would remember how to hold a stick. We already knew Atkinsons wasn't an everyday player anymore. But I would also not be opposed to JBB finding a bottom 6 guy who might be offensively challenged but balls out every night like when we found Goodrow. Just make a difference. Too many guys right now are complete non factors

Dude was like a hungry hippo swatting and holding sticks down there. I don't get what I witnessed there lol. Not the reason we lost by a mile but no stoppage was wild.

Actually smart on his part and it worked, so I can't fault him, but yeah

 

[Rschmitz]

Get well soon Moser and Cernak

 

[These Are The Days]

Yup. We just have to be patient and suffer through this. Christ I need a drink. This game was effing terrible wasn't it?

 

[aylib]

Perbix is bad

Good analysis

 

[T REX]

Disappointing result again.

Yikes.

 

[bigdaddio]

Its always the dairy queen soft serve 10-ply goal we let in that opens the floodgates. Then other teams are all the best snipers in the world every breakaway.

 

[Ducati Boy]

Right now, for me, our biggest issue is not finishing our chances.

 

[The Gongshow]

All those games in hand we had...welp were losing those games in both senses
