Yeah, on Westgarth, if you're not going to actually DO anything when you're out there, at least finish your checks. Dude shies away as soon as he even THINKS the puck might be gone, dude, just ****ing pummel someone.

Did I forget the in my original post?

I forgot the in my original post...

lol ah i see........well then......back to the game







ok enough of that, back to this.....

 

[snakepliskin]

our strengths are playing weak and our weaknesses are really really weak

 

[DaveG]

jesus christ, Sangs looks like he's trying to puckhandle a live grenade.

 

[snakepliskin]

ive been quite about sanguinetti but he is not nhl material

 

[Unsustainable]

Sangs has no ****ing stick strength for clearing a puck to the side

 

[Wolfpuck]

This team. This ****ing team.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Nice pass Sangs.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

LOL what a pass from Sangs right to Ribeiro's tape as he was being pressured.

Need to have him watch Kronwall video.

 

[snakepliskin]

past time for westgarth to plow someone

If Muller's coaching style is based on accountability I better see Jokinen in the damn press box next game.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

You'd have to ask Laviolette, Maurice or Muller.

If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say LaRose probably brings a lot of energy in the team practices and the coaches likely hope that energy translates to strong play for his linemates. It's no coincidence that LaRose finds his way back to the 1st line only when Staal has a couple of his patented lazy games.

I agree. Since we can't move anyone else skilled without creating a huge hole in our lineup, you move someone with energy in hopes that he'll spark something.

But so far, all I have seen is LaRose dump it in, LaRose turn the puck over, or LaRose kill the play. Tlusty was invisible, but LaRose is noticeably lagging behind these two players.

Like on that sequence. He tries to set up Semin on the break, but instead turns it over. Semin makes something of it with forechecking, then LaRose gets it down low. He tries to make a play, but just turns it over again.

Meanwhile, Tlusty actually made a hockey play.

I don't know what to say about these guys. They aren't playing like they are pissed off. They are playing more like they just got done finishing a marathon.

 

[Aussie Hurricane]

Just got out of work. How many beers do I need to shotgun

 

[SeaBasstian]

this isnt going anywhere close to how i thought the start of this period would go. i mean it is, just the wrong team doing it. looks like they went in the locker room and all that was said was...."sorry you guys dont look good out there, lets mope about it for the next 2 periods"

 

[Clark Gillies]

It is really hard to look good when half of your defenders are really not NHL caliber players -
(Murphy will be, but still a little green)

 

[My Special Purpose]

Injuries aside, would it be too much to ask that these guys WAKE THE HELL UP???

Show some passion, even if you can't show any skill.

 

[SeaBasstian]

lol the crowd was barely trying to boo there lol

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

"I think of Danica as a driver and not a woman."

- Tripp Tracy

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Tripp on Danica Patrick:

I try to think of her as a driver and not a woman. Well, of course I think of her as a woman, too.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Tlusty on second line now?

 

[Beardy*]

At a certain point, if Rutherford has any hope of this team seeing the playoffs anytime soon, he has to make a trade...

This is a bad team as assembled, even when healthy

 

[Lazyking]

Canes playing like ****..

Save us Skinner.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Haven't seen Gragnani anything tonight. A good thing IMO.
