Post-Game Talk: Crap

[SnowblindNYR]

Is there a support group for sports-a-holics? I can't let this team control my life like it does. I guarantee you each and every player on this team cares less than us. Mika will probably go DJ tonight.

Fox is supposed to be a top 3-5 defenseman.

He's a better latter-day Larry Murphy. You can win Cups with this kind of guy but he needs to be your 4th best player, not your best or 2nd best player.

There, I said it.

This. The core is just simply doesnt care. I never watch them and come away saying “thats a team that cares”. They need a shake up and a big way this offseason.

1) Call Ottawa and offer Fox for Brady Tkachuk. Fox has been inflated due to qb’ing an elite pp unit. Its a pp unit thats made guys like tda and gustaffson look elite.

2) toughen up the blue line with Zadorov after trading lindgren for a 2nd

3) sign Brandon Montour

4) trade goodrow for a bag of pucks

Tkachuk-Mika-Kreider
Panarin-Trocheck-Laff
Cuylle-Chytil-Kakko
Othmann-Edstrom-Vesey

Zadorov-Montour
Kandre-Trouba
Gustaffson-Schneider

You managed to make our defense even worse.Well done

 

[DanielBrassard]

Does anyone else feel that Kreider was a better player with Stepan than he is with soft passive Mika?

Part of it is age, but Stepan actually could play below the hashmarks and would cycle the puck. It wasn’t as perimeter as it is now.

Bingo that’s it

This is the single worse idea in the history of this website. Congratulations.

Lavi would be fired before the season is over if he started giving Panarin 3rd line minutes.

I'm sure he could figure out a way to give all those lines around 15 mins

 

[SnowblindNYR]

That's our captain right there ladies and gentlemen. All he wants to do is collect paychecks. f*** Trouba.

Oh God what an overreaction. The lose sucks, I’m pissed to but it’s a losing streak. It happens, they’re not confident right now so crappy things happen. What were they going 82-0, it happens

This type of response attempts to sweep things under the rug. As with all things under the rug, they get unearthed eventually. The underlying issue is not even about this season. It's been about multiple seasons now with this soft play.

 

[ReddestRum]

Embarrass Trouba for what? He’s having a great season, why cause they lost today? Get lost

Confused as to why you're responding to me when my reply was a response to another person that has issues with Trouba. I'm just trying to say when captains are usually untouchable on a team unless they are dog shit in the trenches of the league.

Drury/Laviolette have to send a message.
Pick one of the soft NMC/NTC player’s (don’t care which one) and make him your 13th forward or 7th D-man.
Maybe their pride will get them to call their agent and demand a trade.
If we’re going to lose then at least lose trying.

 

[ReddestRum]

True. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind any shakeup at this point.

Love the fire Jacob. How much for one of your paintings?

Being serious, this exactly what therapists are for. Go and see someone and work with them to develop strategies to either deal with how sports affect you, or how to cut down on consumption. Mental health is important, don't ignore it

Love you avatar by the way!

Teams understand our bottom 6 is basically AHL crap,so its making our top 6 easier to defend against when you don't need to worry about the other lines

 

[Unpredictable1]

I knew once Zibanejad returned, the version of Kreider we saw last game would vanish. I really liked how Kreider played during that Blues game in the absence of Zibanejad. Seemed so engaged, almost as if he felt more responsibility with Zib out? Who knows.

I know it has been brought up by some but I would like to see Kreider and Zib separated at 5 on 5. They can hold hands on the powerplay still or PK.

This stretch overall since the start of Dec has been pretty painful to say the least.

I have enough more important things to get therapy for.

That's obviously for media consumption and it's a lot different behind closed doors. Whether the team cares or not, I don't know. Probably not. But I highly doubt they're being positive.

He's visibly seething when they lose in those postgame interviews. Tbf I didn't watch this one yet.

Trade Fox but keep Miller and Trouba together. I want it to happen just so I won’t have to watch anymore.

 

[McRanger92]

do the people calling out Fox even watch hockey or just wait to bitch in the PGT? I’d strip Trouba of the C and give it to Fox if this dogshit continues. The guy is trying to do everything out there when the rest of his teammates are flat footed all day,

 

[ReddestRum]

Not only that, but it also makes the top 6 want to push the offense more because they feel like they have to shoulder all the burden of scoring for the team. Unfortunately, this puts us even more in a defensive liability with the top lines.
