lol get lost

you guys get so caught up in a game or two here or there

see ya next time they lose

I'm on here every game, you probably don't notice because you spend your time insulting people and then telling them that's how message forums work.

And it's been four or so games in a row of this play - maybe watch the games and less insulting other posters and trying to argue your odd takes.

team can't finish right now, Kings have great defense, goal taken back... tough to watch.

On the other hand, our bottom 6 is utterly garbage. Cotter is such a idiot, he's basically a Wood but slower and with better touch in breakaways.

Frustrating game, one where many things are going wrong at once. Too many of those lately.

We better shithouse the Sharks to get ourselves back on track.
Sharks are a MUST win.

And I know somebody is gonna say ''To say any game right now is a must win is ridiculous'' but they're a HUMPTY BUM ass, cream of the crap loser suck team, and we've already lost to a humpty bum ass, cream of the crap, loser suck team on this trip.

I also think we need to beat Seattle, but worry about San Jose first.

if you watch every game and then your take is "HEY THESE GUYS ARENT GOOD SORRY TO REPORT", then maybe you should watch....harder? idk because you arent doing a good job of it.

Haula is completely washed. He’s killing us He should be demoted to the fourth line but who can be moved up that’s any better? Both bottom six lines are atrocious.

I hated that third year he got on his contract. So who gets bought out? Haula? Palat? Both? Haula is absolutely useless and Palat stinks.

I am worried that he's fallen off the cliff. @Guttersniped had some metrics on ages when players generally do - I think he's on the cusp of that?
I think so, yes.

Haula is not a youngster.

I was 50% sure he was falling apart in 22-23 when he had 4 goals in 56 games, but he wound up finishing so strong that he almost hit his career averages by season's end.

This time I'm afraid he's probably done.

He may not be THIS bad the rest of the season, but he's probably not a 3rd line anything anymore and you can get 4th liners for way cheaper than what he's making next year.

they absolutely have to bring in a 3C because Haula is cooked. I think if you get that corrected, it will make the lines look a lot better because right now he is cratering them.

you didnt, but you definitely brought other dramatic stuff to the table

its a LONG season. Teams lose a few in a row sometimes. Doesn't mean a hell of a lot in the grand scheme of things. They will get some reinforcements here soon and be okay.
Huh? I'm one of the most optimistic posters around here and I say one slightly negative thing and I get replies like that claiming I'm some sort of doomer. I don't get it.

I've been overwhelmingly positive about the team this year, I got pissed off after the 1st TBL loss and that losing streak, but other than that I don't see it. Is it cause I said I didn't think they'd score one tonight? Just felt like that kind of game tonight.

It's entirely clear what this team is and what the problem is. It's been evident for a long time. This current version of the team is not winning the Cup without miracle performances from the bottom 6. It is the only problem with the team. With even average depth scoring this team is not just a contender but I'd say one of if not the Cup favorite.

Yeah, he's 33. Turns 34 in March so this season. Crap. He's also signed for next year.
