Obviously this loss is on Staal right???

very likely but I can't say without filling out my worksheets

Hank tank commander

Quinn co tank commander with Mcleod lieutenant commander.

neutral zone play is very bad and it's not just or even in large due to the defense. The forwards allow so many open lanes and space that the D are forced to back off. happens too frequently.

as a D myself, I hate when forwards sag and don't gap-up up the ice and force me to back up...that's what this team gets caught doing alot.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

big loss

to tankathon!

 

[Embryo]

damn well that one is on hank

 

[Richard Banger]

I know he's been great most of this season but Lundqvist just didn't do his job today.

Dude it was a screen come on.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Strong tank loss.

 

[Rempe73]

ADA top 3 player on the ice again....

The best player

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

****ing hayes holding onto the ****ing puck lmfao what a ****ing weasel.

Big doofus probably thinking about bong rips and some tasty waves...

Interesting because on my work sheet is just says Loss. Doesn't specify a player.... crazy idea amirite?

 

[Machinehead]

Where I stand on the tank right now is, if they play well and win, then good for them.

I don't want them to steal games. It's a waste. They thoroughly deserved to lose today so I'm glad they lost.

I'm beginning to see Quinn as a placeholder.

 

[Fataldogg]

Dude it was a screen come on.

I'm a Lundqvist homer and I think that is one he wants back. He let up two bad goals.

 

[Loff]

LA can't score goals or win games. Rangers to the rescue.

Always.

 

[bl02]

do we get some wonderful papa John's pizza even after a loss?

 

[Ori]

ADA top 3 player on the ice again....

He had a star tonight and not sure why he is benched to be honest.

 

[TheDirtyH]

what a boring game. I hope the kings take this to mean they're a good team, love to see Doughty miss the playoffs.

 

[effen]

Hank due for a 'bad' game. Team didn't pick him up.

2/3 of the team is completely invisible doing some combination of gliding, icing, or avoiding contact.

that goal means Spooner's gonna keep playing. goddamnit.

Kreider starting his annual 20 game Invisible Man impersonation early this year.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Dude it was a screen come on.

This argument is so old. Every time there's a screen on a shitty goal everyone says "BuT iT WaS a ScReEn". If every screen shot went in every game would be 20-19.

 

[CaptBagel]

Howden nam bush was the best line early then Bush gets put in the dog house or was he hurt??
Anyone see why?

Looks like Hank is all in for the tank
Thank you King

We look like we don't really have a plan in the O-zone, its more a case of "get the puck in and see what happens next", and we struggle to establish a decent forecheck.
Our gap control through the neutral zone into the D-zone is also still pretty suspect.

The biggest thing for me though compared to other teams in the league is that we just don't seem to care about puck possession. Not necessarily in a Corsi etc sense, but that no-one really seems to be interested in making sure we retain possession. We ice the puck a lot, we'll almost always just dump it in rather than look for an option or hold up waiting for a change, we make lazy passes that seem to be more in hope than expectation when in the O-zone.

I hope the kings win the cup honestly. I'm a huge DD fan.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

DeAngelo, Namesnikov and Howden.

Everyone else can GTFO except for 3rd period Chytil.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I know he's been great most of this season but Lundqvist just didn't do his job today.

Agreed.

This is the first game of the season that he was a hindrance to us though; I'll take that percentage from any goalie.
