Lemieux and Zibanejad are out for maintenance reasons. Some how Quinn put together combos that I like even less than what I thought he'd do.
I mean with this organization that means nothing, but I guess thats better than day to day?

He should have caught the initial shot and stopped the Zajac shot, he lost his angle on that one.

All the same, and I agree on the first goal he should have caught the puck, the coverage issue seem to bother me just as much if not more.

The more I think about it, the more I think Quinn can't be the head coach of this team when they are ready to win/compete for a Stanley Cup. His line combinations are bizarre, plays his favourites more than he should, rewards players who are undeserving.
How are the younger kids going to develop if they're on the 3rd/4th line and not playing with linemates that complement their skills? The team is not ready to win yet, the playoffs are iffy at best, so the younger players should be playing in more important roles.
When they are ready to win, hire a more experienced head coach.

What an awful, condescending, downright stupid response when I was trying to be pretty fair and reasonable while talking about concerns I had. I wasnt even f***ing rude to you. I acknowledged how young the team is and how covid f***ed up training camp MYSELF.
And then you sarcastically bring it up like Im an idiot who doesnt realize it?
Thanks for being a complete dick to me for no reason

I'm more underwhelmed than ever with Kakko given what I saw from Hughes. Hughes was a game breaker.
I hope Lafreniere or Kakko hit that level we saw from Hughes yesterday. Night and day from where he was last year.

At least he didn’t scratch Miller, put ADA back in and has JJ on the bottom pair. It’s a step back toward sanity.
Sorry if you took it that way. Not my intent.
Just feel like some fans have completely unrealistic expectations of the team and the players and then it bears out in freak outs and blame casting.
Lol Hughes had an easy tap in for a goal and was gift wrapped a breakaway.
Kakko's finished breakways too.
Game breaker my ass. He was opportunistic AF.

It seems Howden went back to sucking. Funny, from the eye test he was good on tuesday.

Pretty sure that unlike hfboards most NHL coaches don't evaluate player 100% on one statistic.
Sound like a homer to be honest. He was creating grade A chances on the ice every time he stepped on it, especially in the 2nd period.
If he played for any team other than the Devils, Islanders or Flyers I'm skeptic the criticism for him would be the same.
I'm trying to be as bias free as possible, he definitely impressed me. And I still haven't seen that level from Kakko, which I'm hoping he does.
I see Korpikoski and Hagman in Kakko. nothing at all so far this season to suggest otherwise. he was better in the playin round maybe cause the other Rangers were so bad.

Reeeallly hope Zbad is ok....
And dude, Lemmy took BACK TO BACK clappers to the SAME EXACT SPOT on the side of his knee. Dude is a warrior and drew two penalties after he did that.
love this fckn kid.
Lol he didn't create shit outside of that. The best thing he did on his first goal was get tossed from the face off circle because he would have probably lost it.
I'll give him credit for finishing on the breakaway but some of you are acting like he controlled the game. He didn't.

Johnson over Smith is the weirdest f***ing thing.
Does Johnson need to play a certain amount of games in order to be exposed, or something?

Everything else I can justify but this is an odd one.
Smith has been clearly better.

Same. The rest of it, I'm fine with waiting a while longer to see how it comes together.
But Johnson over Smith is just wrong, and anybody who watched a game with the two of them on the ice would agree.

I do have an ego
however, that tweet is obviously some serious hyperbole. If we gave Kakko top line minutes he wouldn't suddenly turn into one of the best skaters in the league. Kakko was spoon-feed top six minutes as well as plenty of PP time last season. I think that Kakko could benefit from playing on the 3rd line and learning to battle harder and add some hustle to his game

Thats just not true. Hughes had almost twice that of the next persons time of possession, he was everywhere with the puck
