You and Mikos, sure. Ed has had an issue with Kakko since before he was drafted and wants to harp on how he’s right. When it’s like .0001% of the people who argued Kakko over Hughes.

well yes that’s different true lol

that excuse is not going to cut the mustard much longer. Frankly it’s a lousy one at this point. Played a year in the nhl.

IMO his issues are between the ears right now.

That doesn't bode well. See Lias Andersson.

Chill.

Bert Hodwen

Leading our checking line tonight!!!!

 

[FUZfan]

After the last game. I'll be happy with just seeing them play a competitive game tonight.

First game was just an overall dumpster fire.

 

[Levitate]

Probably been discussed to death but I’d bet there’s more behind the scenes then just DeAngelos penalty

 

[NYR]

Bert Hodwen

Bert!
He kinda looks like a Bert lol

Lol he was one of the few bright spots on Thursday.

Hope it continues. A good Howden would be a big lift to this team once they get their shit together.

 

[NYR]

So Quinn can bitch at the refs with the rabbit ears BS and cost the team a penalty but when ADA gets fired up it's a scratch.
ClownSauce..

 

[bsu]

Do you guys know which goalie is starting?

 

[NYR]

Do you guys know which goalie is starting?

GEO

 

[SnowFort]

Do you guys know which goalie is starting?

Georgiev is the confirmed starter.

 

[Daves a mess]

Why do you always bring up Hughes, a player we didn’t have the choice to draft?? You want to gripe about players taken after Kakko, fine, but we had the 2nd pick and Hughes went 1st. Take the Hughes talk to the around the league thread.

Can't ya just see Gorts pursing his lips and thinking, "I should takin Treva"

 

[kovazub94]

Their number 1 goal should be winning games, not appeasing angry keyboard warriors on twitter.

Btw, this is what you’re doing right now.

 

[kovazub94]

Benching ADA gives the NYR a worse shot to win tonight. Which is obviously, bad.

However Quinn to his credit has done a pretty good job helping DeAngelo become a better pro the past few years. I have my frustrations w Quinn but think we should defer to his judgement in this instance. It could be a case of doing what DeAngelo responds to for the sake of nipping this in the bud and setting up the rest of the season as best as possible.

But all the reporters speculating that this is due to social media or politics or something for clicks with no evidence from the team pointing that direction can f*** right off.

Right on (all points)!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Btw, this is what you’re doing right now.

I'm talking about politics, not complaining about a hockey team. One's a lot more consequential than the other.

 

[Fitzy]

If Kakko is still struggling 12 games in then I'll permit myself to be worried.

 

[kovazub94]

Youngest team in league, with no pre-season, loses opener to an elite team, and people want to fire the coach.

And if you think Isles aren't a top team, you're not paying attention, at least based on last season.

Yup, but it’s easier to ignore all this context and just feed your own and herd hysteria.

 

[kovazub94]

Their different degrees of success as a head coach

Seriously? How much success Ruff had without a few seasons backed by arguably the best goalie of all time? And how you’re comparing it to NHL head coach who had all but two years coaching the youngest team in the league that actually made excellent progress in terms of development in this time?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I expect big games from Mika, Kreider, Panarin and Strome, these guys need to lead the way for this young team, tonights game is on them imo.

 

[Kovalev27]

That doesn't bode well. See Lias Andersson.

lias Andersson couldn’t skate shoot stick handle wasn’t very big or agile AND he had problems between the ears

 

[kovazub94]

If Kakko is still struggling 12 games in then I'll permit myself to be worried.

14 games.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Kakko needs consistency and an opportunity to learn without repercussion

As opposed to what our big brain coach is doing now, where he yanks him off the second line after 1 period

Good points.
