What is going on here....woof

 

[effen]

more 5 on 5 PK defense, complete with "skate at you at half speed but pull up and not actually pressure so you have all the time in the world AND im now out of position" action

 

[NCRanger]

Zibanejad, among others, had an absolutely awful period.

 

[Rempe73]

Worst period of 2019? Or at least this season? Mixed with awful puck luck too. Even Sam said they were just flat out bad

Name someone who had a good period

Hank had a good period.

 

[ReddestRum]

Just got on and saw the score. Should I just go drink and not watch this to start the new year upset?

Easily . Just seems like one of those games you can turn off early, they can’t do anything right .

 

[RGY]

"Skill" doesn't mean constant breakaways and everyone has 90 points.

It means not playing guys like Lindgren who don't do anything well, have never done anything well, but are #sound and #BlockShots.

Youve gotta be kidding me. Granted this has been his worst game but this is the stance youre gona take? Lindgren doesnt do anything? Go yell at a cloud.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Taking off tonight huh guys

 

[aufheben]

Guess I’m lucky I missed this period.

 

[Ranger Tide]

Zibanejad, among others, had an absolutely awful period.

it's because the play by play clown on SN keeps calling him zibinijad. And cheatull to boot...

 

[effen]

If skill is not playing Lindgren, we're all quite highly skilled IMO

 

[Boris Zubov]

Guess I’m lucky I missed this period.

You didn't miss a thing.

 

[Cmox]

Ooof. I’m glad I’m not out partying to watch this. Who am I kidding? Anything is better than partying.

 

[Anzi]

Maybe we need a few games like this just to drive home the point to management, if there's any doubt, that this is nowhere close to a playoff team.

 

[Machinehead]

What does he do well?

 

[Tob]

20 of our 42 points are literally for winning the goalie battle. Very optimistic about a tank to 30th in the league going forward.

 

[NCRanger]

Name someone who had a good period

I called him out specifically because he was beat on the first goal, and his line got caught twice in their own end.

He looked to be skating behind everyone.

 

[Edge]

I feel like this was somewhat expected?

They win a few in a row, then fall apart and lose a few in a row. They close the playoff gap and their pick drops to 14th, and then they lose a few and they're back in the top 10. I kind of expect this pattern to continue.

 

[LORDE]

It won't.

We've probably already pursued more of other teams core players over the last 6 months than Edmonton has in the last 30 years.

I was being half facetious... if it ends up w a cup I don’t care how long it takes.

Maybe I’ll still be alive.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

He looks mad

 

[Edge]

Maybe I’ll still be alive.

This is all Sam Rosen's fault.

He said this one will last a lifetime. But we didn't make him specify whether or not he meant his.

 

[effen]

@Edge trying to split the middle here

 

[Anzi]

Damn you Kenny Albert
