GDT: CBJ @ Toronto...Dare I say, this is one is critical?!?

[ViD]

I'm calling it right now. Tarasov starts tomorrow and we win in Ottawa.

Well, since it’s B2B, he was going to start anyway, but I was 100% sure he starts today

With Montreal winning right now, it’s pretty much a wrap for the season

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

BS call. I mean, whatever, but…

 

[Fred Glover]

We were pretenders and I think most of us knew this. The season got serious at the beginning of March and we couldn’t keep up. I view this season as a positive step, but we definitely need to change our defense and goalies.

Exactly
It has been a fun season with games still to watch and hopefully enjoy
It is hugely disappointing to be on the cusp of the playoffs and not make the playoffs
It’s also hugely disappointing to make the playoffs and not win the cup
But the team has made huge strides from the past few years and the offseason should be interesting and exciting to see what upgrades the GM makes and the steps forward that our players will take

Ive seen enough of Elvis.

... I wonder how many people on the graceland tour say that?

Certainly at the Graceland Shopping Center

I went on the Graceland tour. Not a huge Elvis fan like my girlfriend is, but I did enjoy the tour. His car collection is pretty cool. Thought the house would be bigger though.

 

[LJ7]

Kind of crazy Evason is icing a Johnson-Gudbranson pairing at the NHL level.

Yeah. Season on the line and they are playing real minutes together.

 

[stevo61]

well, at this point we just gotta hope they can keep their spirits up enough to finish the right way

 

[aRussian]

Felt like we were outmatched in every facet on that series. On boards, positioning, stick play, and passing

 

[Cowumbus]

What is our record with Boone in the lineup?

 

[koteka]

Certainly at the Graceland Shopping Center

What was that old restaurant that used to be there? It was like they never remodeled and you were stepping back into the 60s. It was awesome. I bet they loved Elvis there. Although it had more of a Frank Sinatra vibe.

 

[MoeBartoli]

We played two good periods and a very poor third.

The problem was Elvis sucks!

Meh, with us scoring nothing, it’s not even that relevant

Ground Round was across the street.

Plenty of blame to go around. Zero goals for. 5 against. Both terrible. Goalie, D, and offense all disappointed

The defense is only as good as Werenski is. We ran him into to ground this year.

The team knows they have to score 6+ to have a chance to win. Hard to keep the effort up when the team knows how bad Elvis is playing.

Ground Round was across the street.

This place had sparkly gold and sparkly blue vinyl seats. It was awesome. My friend and I stumbled in on accident and immediately felt we in a legendary establishment. We went to a thrift shop and bought crazy sport coats before we back.

Probably the Fontanelle

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Say what you want but getting shut out 5 times in 14 games without being shut out all season ain't an Elvis problem.

Funny how everyone else gets a pass for playing like ass recently.

 

[NotWendell]

EVERYONE is the key (and correct) word in that sentence. That extends to the HC as well.
We've seen it time and time again with this franchise. We can overachieve when there are no expectations. But as soon as there are expectations, we crumble.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The defense is only as good as Werenski is. We ran him into to ground this year.

Probably 2-3 too many minutes per game along with the 4 nations deal took its toll on him. He's always activating into the play (which he should be) so his minutes are actually much harder than those of your average defenseman.

I don't blame Evason for playing him so much. He's an elite dman on a team which doesn't have a lot of defensive depth.
