So who gets their minutes cut?

 

[kanadalainen]

Onward.

The second period sag was too much for Hell boy.

 

[rehf]

Embarassing.

 

[Ggg99]

Too early to worry?

 

[kanadalainen]

So who gets their minutes cut?

I'm thinking of flora. Big flora.

 

[Romang67]

Positives: our relatively lackluster play 5v5 was completely overshadowed by our atrocious special teams.

 

[Potential]

Dallas is going to be a tough team for us to play against - they're big, they have some young guys that can skate, and they obstruct and interfere like f$&#@*g crazy.

Unfortunately we reverted to our scrambly play of last season. Our game needs more time in the oven to bake.

Still not worried. The pieces are there to be good. No more Stanley though pls.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Boooo


1 out of 5 Schwarzenegger’s

had to retire Hudson from last year!

Same crappy pile as last year.

Am I in the matrix?

 

[None]

So who gets their minutes cut?

Stanley and Maenalanen probably just out of the linup. Samberg and Jonsson-Fjällby in.

 

[kanadalainen]

4/5 Dostoevsky guys for this one.

He may be rooming with Tree.

1st road game of the year in a hot weather city without your coach...saw the L coming. The telling sign will be how we bounce back in Colorado. Then a back to back in Vegas. We knew the schedule could get ugly, but just need to see the bounce back effort.

So who gets their minutes cut?

If Maurice was still here: Ehlers
With Bowness, not sure. Hopefully we can get some defence shakeups at least.

Enough people are gonna drag Stanley so I am not gonna pile on him.

PLD could have gone into that game with two eggs in each of his pockets and at the end of the game all the eggs would have been intact.

0 hits, -2, 2 Shots (both on the PP) in ~18.5 mins of icetime

Even Connor/Scheifele/Ehlers who are smaller guys who don't have hits as part of their game registered 2 hits each. He atleast has to show some physicality and passion if nothing else is going for him. He can't be playing like a less physical version of Lowry at 5v5.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I love jmo 5/5 but he is not a PP QB.

 

[DRW204]

It'd one L, just like it was W the other night. Shouldn't overreact heavily either way.

Honestly, 5-4 were worse than Stanley aside from the penalties

Well that was a game that showed we still have a long way to go. We showed signs of good play but also came undone at times.

They need to figure our breakouts out. Just terrible and kill any chance we have to attack with speed.

Our PP setup is also off imo. We have too many shooters on the first unit and they are too pass happy imo. Not sure if anyone really has a set job.

The second PP unit isn't going to score many goals with Sam Gagner and Blake Wheeler as your designated shooters. Perfetti has the best shot of the three and he's sitting there below the goallibe or screening the net. Not sure what the heck the coaches are thinking with that set up.

Simply put I think our top 6 as constructed lacks balance. There is not enough speed or finish on line 2. There is too much creativity and finish on line one that it often leads to that line not accomplishing enough. We need to spread out the speed and play driving. Conner and Fly need to drive there own lines.

It's painfully obvious that it's a speed and puck movement game now and we need speed and puck movement on the back end.

A 6 game stretch against the Rangers, Stars, Avs, Golden Knights, Leafs and Blues looks pretty damn difficult.

Hopefully the team can prove me wrong and be a different team than they have the past few years, despite the very similar looking roster.

 

[Atoyot]

I hope the Jets feel properly ashamed after that one. Onwards and upwards.

Fire everyone and trade 'em all!

Remember last season when Perfetti was QBing the PP from out on the left hashmarks and looking like a difference maker? Let's try that again.

How many losses till the 2022 **** thread is created?
