The good run was nice but this team clearly has every intention of picking high if that's going to be their top pair.

Self sabotage.

Well we lost to the Champs with our backup goalie in net, after Thanksgiving and after playing yesterday..not trying to make excuses but we really only lost by 1 goal, (empty netter) and played toe to toe with the Champs and Ovi. There are positives to take away from this game. It just sucks that we didn't get ANY points this weekend in 2 games, I hope that doesn't come back to haunt us..

How exactly is it going to haunt us? What's going to haunt us more is when we draft 9th or 10th again instead in the top 5 of this excellent draft because we won a couple of meaningless games we should have lost.

The last thing in the world this team should be doing is worrying about making the playoffs.
 
I understand it was a close game on the scoreboard, but I thought we were outplayed for most of the game. Maybe it was just me. The defense was horrendous and we will continue to have games like this against good teams unless Staal is sat, or at the very least limited to 3rd pairing minutes.
 
If anyone's interested in watching for prospects, projected top 10 pick Dylan Cozens (C - Lethbridge Hurricanes) is playing right now

He's a top 4 or 5 pick, and if we keep winning these meaningless games its not gonna matter watching him much because we won't have the opportunity to draft him.

The game yesterday I didn't really mind if we lost. This one we could've won. Got manhandled by the end. Self sabotage and annoying as shit, IMO. I agree with Quinn's response this interview.

Slightly OT, I f***ing love his pressers. He's to the point and he does give insight, not just some stupid crap or crowd pleasing sentences. I still think they're trying to see who responds best when put into the lineup/pairings and situations. Don't particularly have an explanation for Staal/Pionk because it's really bad and they should not be on the ice at the same time at all.
 
Georgiev has to stop that one time from the top of the circle. The pass was really the only play Carlson had. Staal with too much of a gap between him and Connelly

Great play by Washington, trying to pin that on Georgiev is a stretch. This game could have easily been out of hand if it wasn't for him. Defense was an abomination today.

Actually I like having them together because then it's one horrendous pair instead of two. Just give them less time.

I'm sorry i thought i was posting in the post game thread of the game where the Rangers lost to the Capitals 5-3

Sorry didn't mean to come off as angry at you for posting that, but it's still true that we need to keep losing in order to get a shot at a fantastic player like that.
 
Howden need some skate and quickness training too - he looked very slow on that Cap. goal.
 
The one who's just as bad as Pionk defensively with none of the offense?
Yes

I imagine within a year or 2 we will possibly see this. However, that requires other defensemen in the system to not yield shots and attempts every 3 and a half nanoseconds or for us to find some outside of the system and bring them in
 
Kevin Hayes seems like the type of guy that I wouldn't want to grab a beer with because he'd bore me to tears. Does he have a pulse?

I think I'm starting to piece together the motivation behind the small contingent of Zib haters.
