Haha, it wasn't Shesterkin's fault, he was one of the players least at fault but it's been a trend this season. The garbage offense is obviously the biggest problem.

One game it's the goaltending, another is the defense, another one is offense. It just shows me that this team isn't consistent yet and they should have sold off a few more pieces last year instead of strapping themselves down

I honestly question whether Ovechkin would be able to make an offensive impact if he were playing on a line with Howden.

I totally agree. I despise Howdens game. However, he's played with everyone and has little offensive flair to show for it. No Oos and Ahhs. Just kinda meh offensively

We'll probably do that next year.

If covid doesn't happen, we don't come anywhere near the playoffs last year. Where are so much better?

The Caps, Flyers, and Bruins are locks. So we have to beat four other teams one of which was in the ECF last year.

I don't know we expected in regards to making the playoffs.

We don't make it probably but we come close. Maybe the Islanders don't make it the way they were playing but yet they turn it around and do well in the playoffs. Same with Montreal. Their two young centers grew leaps and bounds with some playoffs experience. If it was a forgone conclusion that we don't make the playoffs this year fine but there is no reason we can't seriously compete for that 4th spot. Meaningful games down the stretch help in the development of young players.

The pp is sad right now. Love Fox but we have absolutely no one who can get the puck thru from the point with a hard accurate shot.

The defense has been bad in 2 or 3 of the games. The team defense has been one consistent thing this season. Ironically it was the one thing we were missing last year.

Yeah and then when that works, something else is bad. I have patience but sometimes it feels like Quinn is still in his first season. We are seeing too many games that end the same way and it's not good

Did you watch this game?

He set up 3 opportunities that were completely beefed on.

There isn't really anywhere to put him in the top 6 unless you want to bump someone else down (and Id rather not have him playing with Zibaenjad) but its hard to rack up points when you're playing with/ setting up the likes of Brett Howden.

He's played with everyone and has little to show for it. I'm in no way saying he's not gonna be great. We're blessed to have him. He's just had very little impact offensively. It's disappointing

I'm sure they explored trades for TDA and Strome but I guess the return wasn't worth it. They also didn't have a crystal ball to see the future concerning DeAngelo fiasco and Miller being such a stud so quickly.

Really could’ve used him tonight. He brought a swagger that barely anybody on our team has. Maybe just Panarin
Fox is nowhere near as dynamic and or agile, watching DeAngelo dance along the blue line with the puck was a thing of beauty

Gorton had to show the world what a tough guy he is, but it backfired and made him look stupid.

From 16-17 to 19-20 we allowed 2.84 xGA per 60, dead last in the NHL comfortably. And it would be worse if I included 15-16 when we were *debatably* an NHL team.

So far this year, we're allowing 2.34 xGA per 60.

That's meaningful improvement as a team that you can't measure based on your record in the standings. Record is the bottom line, but again, I'll worry about that when I think we have a chance to win the Cup.

On an individual level, I'd like to see us be better. We'll see how it goes and if it doesn't go, we'll see how committed they are to Quinn.

As far as the PP, we have a guy that basically scored 60 goals last year. And you've seen him this year. That'll do it right there.
