This team is likable and a joy to watch
Can’t wait for the next game

Fantilli can't play defense all the time.Severson was dogshit that game and Fantilli has to be aware he has to help after Severson screwed up for the 100th time today
I think its easy to forget how long it was since Fantilli was in game action and his linemates due to injuries aren't the most ideal. Hopefully when Voronkov gets back we get to see him with Fantilli and Chinakhov.Fine loss. Oh well. I am confused as to why Severson would be on the ice there instead of Provorov. When I saw he was out there I thought “that’s game”. That turned out to be correct. Haha
On the bright side, that was Fantilli’s best game of the season by far, and obviously it’s not even close. It’s nice to be reminded what he’s capable of, because he was pretty awful in a few games and it had me mildly concerned.
Too many words. Could have stopped at Severson is unbelievably bad.Severson is unbelievably bad at break out passes.

Agreed. However, Fantilli was struggling independently as well. He’s had a very difficult time handling and carrying the puck to start the year. Weird that on a night where the puck was pretty bouncy that that issue totally disappeared for him. Hopefully it’s a sign that he’s hitting his groove.I think its easy to forget how long it was since Fantilli was in game action and his linemates due to injuries aren't the most ideal.

If you wait til they get back to NWA and score 3 goals you can eat some free chili. I know how much you like rocking to the chant.I was non-pulsed by the Waddell & Evason hires…… I will gladly now eat my crow….
Hopefully Evason understands Severson is a trainwreck after this game. He's a giveaway and mistake prone defender and can't be trusted.
Tarasov played well for the most part but there’s two goals he needs to have. Ended up being the difference. However in saying that he also had a few big time saves, so I’m not upset about it. They evened out.
I think Tarasov played great. Only goal he should’ve saved was the five hole one IMO. The Carrier goal was literally one of the most perfectly placed point shots I’ve ever seen. Holy smokes.
If I were Evason, I’d wonder if Werenski and Provorov could handle half of OT each. Z is such a horse I’m sure it’d be no problem for him. That said, I can’t wait to get Mateychuk up here as I’d play him in OT in a heartbeat.
That’s interesting and somewhat surprising to know. I’m not as low on him as others around here. But he’s definitely susceptible to bad games and last night was one of them. And it was noticeable before OT. So I wish that factored into lineup decisions, but it’s the first OT of the year so I can imagine that’s just how it was set up in practice.I'm with you on the Mateychuk part. And of course Werenski could play every other shift.
But there's no reason to think Severson is incapable of playing 3v3. He's been on for 6 goals for and 4 against over the last 5 years at 3v3. Not bad. He got better results last year than Werenski or Provorov. You can scroll through the player stats here.
Depth? We have minimal depth until some guys prove something. We also need 20+ minute guys who can be out there in all situations
And who else is covering Severson’s bum ass?
