The short term memory of this forum is astonishing. A few bumps in the road and you're all giving up and saying the team is trash, just leave, and stop watching hockey. Forgot about the 4-0 road trip already?

We've had 2 good wins and 4 where Igor stole the game.

And for every 10 bad games we'll have 15 good games, so don't worry.

and for those 15 good games for every 10 bad games, we'll finish the season with 57 more bad games.

Picking up points while playing some ugly first star goalie games and adjusting to things is fine! But usually it leads to either playing well or not picking up points anymore. It's not a permanent state of affairs.

I DID IT ALL FOR THE NOOKIE!

We've had 2 good wins and 4 where Igor stole the game.

That means we have an incredible goaltender and also take into account we have a NEW COACH and NEW SYSTEM that this team is still learning to play.

I appreciate your optimism. They are outplayed more games than not and the team’s leadership is playing sloppy, uninspired hockey.

It's frustrating because the team isn't bad. They have the talent and have shown they can look like a legit team when they actually play the right way. For whatever reason, they only play that way in spurts. Idk if it's culteral, mental or poor conditioning? Tired after the B2B?? Idk, but if it doesn't get sorted out soon, this season could get ugly in a hurry.

On paper sure looks like we have a lot of talent. Honestly tho out of 35 periods played how many have we looked really good in? Maybe 7?
I thought this would be the year we would make the playoffs and end the excuse making.

This team needs a shakeup trade. What do you have in the hopper, Drury?

Julien Gauthier for Kurtis Gabriel.

MOAR JAM!!

Chytil for Lucic & a 5th

 

[RickChartraw]

does blais get the 3rd star from the flames?

 

[egelband]

Not a good hit Reaver. You easily level that nerd with a body check.

He wasn’t even trying to hit him I think. He was going for the puck and just clipped nerd.

Again, new coach, new system, they are jet lagged from all these west coast road trips, I would relax if I were you.

7 is ridiculously generous

 

[I Eat Crow]

Gonna drink me sum rum. Arrrrrr Mateys!

Have fun as long as it leads to more pirate talk and sharing in the roster building thread later!

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Game is getting chippy. Should be an interesting 3rd. Maybe not good but probably physical at least unless we just wilt.

 

[bl02]

Definitely being generous.

 

[Embryo]

You guys don't think the new coach, new system and the fact that the team has been flying back and forth across the country/continent for the beginning of the season to play a very physical sport that requires focus and a lot of energy might have something to do with this "uninspired" play?

 

[Crease]

A new coach and new system doesn’t explain Zibanejad gliding around and Panarin giving away pucks to avoid getting hit.

NEW COACH NEW SYSTEM.

Do you even watch the games? What has Gallant done to change anything? DQ preached North South we got east west. Gallant says North South we get east west.

NEW COACH NEW SYSTEM

Here the deal
Laf and k are not producing
Good isn’t fast enough to play on the top two lines.
Our defense is playing poorly..

 

[Cmox]

Should I watch the 3rd or go see Travis Scott?

 

[Bob Richards]

I curse the soils and the earths of Western Canada

 

[Rangers in 7]

This has been a fun game…so glad I’m watching it

 

[egelband]

I think this is part of it. But beyond that, it’s a lot of new guys learning to play together. And ZERO puck luck. It’s a crap streak. It happens.

 

[bl02]

Look at Tkachuk in front of the net on that third goal. A madman. Could you imagine any of our players doing that in front of the opponent net? I would be shocked

Didn’t 8 people die at his show last night?
