Biggest difference is Emelin's play if you ask me. Right now they look like the team last year and this year without Emelin. That's because he's playing like ****.
Blame the coach all you want, but he's not telling Emelin to stop skating, stop throwing hits and stop making a good first pass. He's just looking confused out there. Hopefully it's not one of those situations where there's a pre and post injuring Alexei Emelin...
WTF im sick of therrien relying on the plekanec line for scoring. yea they've chipped in offensively, but no where near proportional to the amount of chances they get. that line is NOT an offensive line. where's galchenyuk on this powperplay??
its no wonder we cant score, all the wrong players are being asked to score
Last year we started fumbling because Price was letting in shots my grandmother would have saved. Maybe of the games we lost down the stretch we were dominating the opponents. It's not at all how we're playing right now. Not even close.
In the POs, we were injured and Price was again pretty mediocre. Despite this, Anderson still had to play on its head for Ottawa to win.
Really, there is nothing similar to the way we're playing now.
Bad coaching is bad coaching. How is chucky not on the PP?
That's pretty ridiculous. Is Emelin telling the guys to dump it out of the zone? To dump and chase it? Is he the one that called us a grinding team??..
Emelin isn't this super awesome Norris winner that is the difference between our team looking good or bad. I mean come one dude..
Exactly, **** logic.
huh?
Same coach, same team, same everything.
Very different Emelin right now.
I'm assuming you meant the DD line, not Plekanec.
we're being outcoached and outmuscled.
this game is embarassing
Everytime I see Diaz, Bouillon, Bourque on the powerplay, my heart sinks.
Which NHL calliber coaches are available right now?
What do you mean ''huh?''. How is our team's system, which is the reason why we look so bad, attributed to Emelin's performance? You're saying we look bad because Emelin is playing poorly, or did I misread you?
