April ?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I vote to change the team name to Team Canada.

 

[The Gongshow]

They blowb

 

[Todd1a]

Zero goals we really gonna not score more then 1 again ?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I bet the boys are going into the back and giving themselves a pat on the back. Blaming just some unlucky bounces.

 

[Rschmitz]

I am disappointed with this group, especially our top line.

 

[T REX]

Need a wake up call...

Not ideal but it's January in Anaheim on a 3rd game in 4 nights, these West coast trips always seem to lack energy. I think they can bounce back and give it a go here in the final 40.

 

[T REX]

Hmm, 0 sog after almost 8 minutes. I see they've corrected very little. A 0 point road trip against these teams may require a meeting between the players and maybe some trades sooner rather than later. You don't want this pathetic, lazy, and disinterested level of play to continue with the team's and number of games coming.

We don't agree often but they are definitely playing soft AF lately for some reason

Finland taking it to usa as well

Not the end of the world, but this should have been a big response game and they're playing like it's pond hockey. Our stars need to step up, especially Kucherov who's been single handedly killing offensive zone pressure by himself for a few games now.

 

[Soul Assumption]

My theory is that they are just trying to get rid of Cooper. That's why Kucherov is putting in less effort than he did in the ASG. We know they can play much better, even yesterday they looked 100 times better. But probably the problem can't be solved without a new coach.

Lol what?!?! This is next level hilarious.

 

[JoVel]

Everything going well like two days ago and now the players want Coop fired. Damn.

 

[creg]

kuch would look a lot better if point could finish any of the empty netters he's been served the last couple games

there you go

 

[Rschmitz]

 

[JTBF81]

Guentzel!

 

[gn2007]

Our defense has more shots than our forwards. Lol that tells you much on how this team been playing

5 days in and you won't read a dumber f***ing take on this entire board the whole year. Congratulations.


Cooper should've saved those shots earlier imo. If only he moved the analog stick controlling JJ a tad earlier. Damn it, John.

Tampa showing some signs of life, and the U.S. even more against Finland.

[JFleegs]

I haven’t been able to watch much lightning due to travel recently but holy shit Lilleberg and Perbix are a dumpster fire!

 

[Stammertime91]

Johansson didn't get the memo from the boys on the bench saving that. Hedman yelled, "let it in JJ! We don't like Cooper anymore, we want him gone and we are playing flat" he loudly whispered. Then JJ said "oh, but if i don't make saves then HF will complain about me, so what do I do?"

 

[bov]

Eyssimont having a nice game

Tbh it's actually not on Lilleberg or Perbix. This is 100% on Cooper. He's controlling everybody behind the bench and the secret Santa gifts given to the guys on the team has left him responsible for their bad attitudes and poor play recently. Just look, no team has ever lost 3 games in a row before and it must be because they want him gone. It's the only reasonable conclusion.
