I don't think I've seen Mack play this bad since his rookie season either.

Full pout mode has been engaged

Meh. People are forgetting the games when the Avs would score 4 or 5 and still lose early on. When this game started out as it did, it’s probably better to shut things down including saving minutes on the top guys.

What a joke of a game. At least we can always throw out pics like this to annoying TB fans.

Oh I'm fine with not overplaying the top guys tonight, but Mack has been like this for a couple weeks now.

I would normally shit on the forwards for not trying, but no one should expect these guys to fight through bad starts THIS many times. Goaltending needs to last more than 4 f***ing shots.
I’m just so effen pissed at mgmt right now. No one can tell me they didn’t know Annunen’s limitations before this season or otherwise. They drafted him! So goddam inept. I wish Kroenkes were more involved fire the whole lot of them from cow towing to the captain for 3 years to containing to gamble on reclamation projects hoping to strike gold to being total buffoons about goaltending it’s pathetic. This team is close to a dangerous slide they are starting to give up almost immediately once a bad goal goes in….the instability in net is seriously hurting this team in their competitive window and mgmt is as usual sitting on their f***ing hands!

Yes, goaltending was the story - again.

Is anyone else seeing top 6 potential from Ivan? He seems to be comfortable with the speed of the game often. He can slow the game down and even show some creativity. It’s a long season. A grind. And it could get to him or he could turn into a pumpkin at some point.

Kiviranta also shows more offensive potential than last year.

It's possible with Ivan, he does seem to do better in a scoring role. I really like his game a lot. It's Kovalenko I'm not sold on yet.

Kovalenko seems more like third line potential. But when you have injuries like this, sometimes it’s tough to judge young guys. I’ve really liked Kovalenko at times.

Are you the archenemy of Sea Eagles? Wow this is like what he says reversed. Pretty funny you mentioned the Kroenkes. They are busy building up another billion dollar city for themselves, they can't be bothered with this dithering stuff like managing teams they don't care about.

Soft goals killing this team all season.

Analytically one of the top teams in hockey and that's saying something given the injuries.

Goaltending is worst in the league by faworst part to me is they know what both the goalies are and still did nothing about it.

Ha! No I love Sea Eagles and am generally Glass half full but the incompetence of mgmt during what little time this core has left is really frustrating. I guess it’s that the problem is so obvious and embarrassing frankly given the rest of the talent on the roster it’s shocking what they didn’t do over the summer and aren’t doing now.
